Erasmus code / ISCED:	13.3 Kod klasyfikacyjny przedmiotu składa się z trzech do pięciu cyfr, przy czym trzy pierwsze oznaczają klasyfikację dziedziny wg. Listy kodów dziedzin obowiązującej w programie Socrates/Erasmus, czwarta (dotąd na ogół 0) – ewentualne uszczegółowienie informacji o dyscyplinie, piąta – stopień zaawansowania przedmiotu ustalony na podstawie roku studiów, dla którego przedmiot jest przeznaczony. / (0531) Chemistry The ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) code has been designed by UNESCO.
Course title:	Liquid Crystals
Name in Polish:	Ciekłe kryształy
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Chemistry
Course groups:	(in Polish) Przedmioty do wyboru w semestrze 3M (S2-PRK-CHM) (in Polish) Wykłady monograficzne (S2-CH, S2-CHS) (in Polish) Wykłady monograficzne w semestrze letnim (S2-CH, S2-CHS)
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	1.50 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
