Pre-requisites before taking this module (or general academic requirements): |
CHEM170 Introductory Spectroscopy |
Aims |
|
To provide students with an understanding of the applications of various analytical techniques and their role in modern research. This module will demonstrate the fundamental theoretical principles of selected instrumental analytical techniques (NMR spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry, ICP-OE(MS) spectroscopy, separation and hyphenated techniques) in the context of their roles in industrial and academic research, to include chemical and pharmaceutical analysis. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) To be able to recognise the current trends in the application of the instrumental analytical methods |
|
(LO2) Demonstrate awareness of the theoretical concepts of NMR spectroscopy, Mass-Spectrometry, Chromatography, hyphenated techniques GC/HPLC-MS, and ICP-based methods |
|
(LO3) To be able to choose an appropriate technique in order to evaluate the structure, properties and potential applications of materials, or a multi-technique approach to find the solution of a selected experimental problem |
|
(S1) Students will develop their chemistry-related cognitive ability and skills, relating to intellectual tasks, including problem solving as required by the Chemistry subject benchmark statement. |
|
(S2) Students will improve their confidence in scientific communication and develop presentation skills of analytical data |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Lectures (+ lecture-based tutorials, in-person): 17 hr Coursework (workshops, 6 hr): (preparatory work in small groups remote and in person, followed by the delivery in-person during workshops). Three problem(case)-based learning workshops with summary presentation in small groups, 2 x 10% each (one workshop is training workshop and is assessed formatively). All workshops are peer-assessed by students and staff/demonstrators using feedback forms. |
