The article presents information on the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) teaching duties of the course called Colloid and Surface Chemistry. The course involves four hours in the 13 weeks of the semester using the books of R. Pashley and M. Karaman as well as D. Shaw and J. Goodwin. These books are said to enable students to calculate surface and liquid as well as learn the theories in surface chemistry. Also presented are the methods of teaching and exercises used including simple calculations, derivations and group contributions.
