Pre-requisites before taking this module (or general academic requirements): |
Aims |
|
• To introduce students to further molecular modelling techniques, so that they can apply molecular modelling software in studies of a variety of chemical systems. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) By the end of this module, successful students will: |
|
(LO2) By the end of the chemical database section of the module, a successful student will have gained: |
|
(LO3) By the end of the employability section of the module, a successful student will have constructed a personalised action plan of their own employability priorities and engaged with a new activity to address their priority. |
|
(S1) Students will develop their chemistry-related cognitive abilities and skills, ie abilities and skills relating to intellectual tasks, including problem-solving as required by the Chemistry subject benchmark statement. In particular, they will gain the ability to adapt and apply methodology to the solution of unfamiliar problems. |
|
(S2) Communication skills |
|
(S3) Lifelong learning skills |
|
(S4) Organisational skills |
|
(S5) IT skills |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
The three strands of coursework are taught asynchronously via the virtual learning environment (lectures equivalent to 3hr modelling, 2h databases, 1hr employability), workshops (equivalent to 2hr modelling) and associated assignments. Lectures 6 hr |
Syllabus |
|
Students will be introduced to more of the skills necessary to perform basic molecular modelling calculations: Students' chemical database skills will be further developed: Students’ employability skills will be further developed: |
