| Description:
| Aims & Learning Objectives: To introduce students to the skills necessary in retrieving information from a variety of Chemical Literature sources and preparation of an in-depth report on a topic. After studying the Unit, students should be able to * Recognise and use appropriate text and electronic sources of chemical information * Assemble information from a number of sources into a coherent report * Prepare and deliver an oral presentation using appropriate visual aids. Content: In conjunction with a supervisor, a topic of recent research or other chemical significance will be selected. Several key references will be identified and the student will use these as a basis to prepare a detailed, critical survey of the area. In addition to 'paper' sources, computer based data retrieval systems will be used. Students will prepare a written report and also a short oral presentation on the selected topic. |
