| Description:
| Aims: To introduce students to a variety of advanced practical chemistry techniques that involves planning and executing experimental work and reporting the results in a number of formats. Learning Outcomes: After studying 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 a written report and laboratory book; * Demonstrate experimental skills appropriate to their chosen programme of study. Skills: Numeracy (F, A) Problem solving (T, F, A) Oral communication (F) Team work (F). Content: Students will work in small groups on a problem in either inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. The allocation will be programme specific, and will vary according to pre-requisite study. 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. |
