Overall the achieved competence is sufficient but narrow. Student shows throughout the course (assignments, classroom discussions, laboratory exercises and exam) that is familiar with the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course: atoms and elements, periodicity, chemical bonds, chemical quantities. Student can write and balance chemical equations and can solve model exercises correctly. In addition student can perform simple laboratory measurements and soil sample analysis under supervision and has basic skills in reporting the results of the analyses.
Student manages the assigned tasks under supervision. Student knows diverse courses of action, but cannot justify his/her choices. Completion of the tasks is based on routine and pre-learned performance.
Student can give and receive feedback, and considers and assesses things from his/her viewpoint. Student can work in a group and recognises his/her interaction skills. Student takes responsibility for his/her own work.
The student passed the safety exam before starting the laboratory work and participated in the laboratory work and did the laboratory reports. Overall the achieved competence is structural. Student shows throughout the course (assignments, classroom discussions, laboratory exercises and exam) that he/she is fluent in explaining and applying the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course. Student shows that he/she can solve model exercise and new exercises correctly, can perform simple laboratory measurements and soil sample analysis independently. In addition, reporting of the laboratory results shows that the student attends to apply the theoretical knowledge in explaining the results.
Student can select the most appropriate course of action from diverse options and justify his/her choices when solving the problems. Student is able to make plans and apply his/her knowledge when solving the problems.
Student can give and receive feedback actively and constructively, and considers and assesses things both from his/her and the close community's viewpoint. Student can cooperate responsibly and is ready to develop his/her interaction skills. Student recognises and follows the important courses of action in the field. Student takes responsibility and commits to the group activities in addition to his/her own work.
Overall the achieved competence is wide. Student shows throughout the course (assignments, classroom discussions, laboratory exercises and exam) that is fluent in the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course. Student can solve model exercises and new exercises correctly and shows creativity in solving the tasks. Student can perform simple laboratory measurements and soil sample analysis independently and understands the background of the used analytical method. Reporting of the laboratory results shows that the student can apply the theoretical knowledge in explaining the results.
Student can search for diverse courses of action and solution alternatives, justify his/her choices and try new courses of action. Student assesses diverse solution alternatives.
Student uses feedback systematically as a professional growth tool in his/her own work and the community. Student considers and assesses himself/herself and his/her professional community or task. Student can cooperate responsibly, flexibly and constructively, and develops his/her own and the group's interaction. Student works responsibly and in a committed manner considering the community and field requirements and needs.

The course grade will be formed according to the scores collected as follows:
- X short exams called weekly exam (taking in Moodle). Weekly exams gives the possibility to collect bonus points, which are added to the final scores obtained from the exams. Bonus points can be obtained for a maximum of 5p when the total score of all weekly exams is 90% of the maximum
(10%:1p, 30%:2p., 50%:3p., 70%:4p., 90%:5p.)
- Two laboratory reports, grading either failed or approved
- Exam max. 48 - 60 points
- Safety exam need to be performed
Grading:
grade 0: < 30% of max points
grade 1: at least 30% of max points
grade 2: at least 45% of max points
grade 3: at least 60% of max points
grade 4: at least 75% of max points
grade 5: at least 90% of max points

If you have completed a similar course elsewhere, please use the TAMK accreditation system.
Occupational Safety Card Training:
8 * 60 minutes, contact teaching 2 * 4 hours (an hour defined as 60 minutes, standard coming from Centre of Occupational Safety). To pass the subsection you need to be present on the contact sessions and to pass a test, which will be arranged in the end of the session. After fulfilling the requirements of mandatory presence and passing a specified exam, you will receive an Occupational Safety Card (registered trademark), which you are able to utilize in your CV and when applying work in Finland.
Exam in two parts:
part 1: October 12th
part 2: December 17th
Retake in electronic exam room, date will be agreed later

a. Safety exam has not been taken
b. Exam and/or laboratory exercises have not been completed.
c. Despite participating in the laboratory exercises and the exam, the achieved competence is insufficient.
This means that, in spite of doing some of the assignments and being able to perform laboratory measurements and experiments under supervision, the student has not shown that they know the basic concepts discussed during the course, or has not shown sufficient skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments.
Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. Overall the achieved competence is sufficient but narrow.
This means that
-some of the assignments were done acceptably
-the student is familiar with the basic concepts discussed during the course but often makes mistakes when applying them
-can perform the laboratory measurements and experiments under supervision
-has basic skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments
Student participated in the laboratory exercises and the exam. He/she is able to structure relations between observed phenomena and theory behind it.
This means that:
-most of the assignments are completed acceptably
-the exam shows that the student is familiar with the concepts discussed during the course and can apply them in most situations
-is fluent in the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course
-can solve model exercise and new exercises correctly
-can perform laboratory measurements and experiments independently
