Only available to students in the Department of Chemistry
Aims & Learning Objectives: To introduce students to a variety of advanced practical chemistry techniques and involves planning and executing experimental work and reporting the results in a number of formats. After completing this Unit, students should be able to: * Demonstrate skills in planning and executing practical problems in Chemistry. * Work in a team - allocation and correlation of tasks and collection of data. * Present the results of an investigation in written reports. * Demonstrate experimental skills appropriate to the chosen project. Content: Students will work in either small groups or singly on problems in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. A problem will be set and appropriate experimental protocols will need to be researched and designed. After completion of the work, a variety of reporting formats will be used to emphasise students' communication skills. |
