Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Demonstrate a firm understanding and practical experience of basic experimental techniques used in physical chemistry
- Understand the connection between these experimental techniques and the lecture material presented in CP Symmetry and Structure, CP Kinetics and Catalysis, and CP Molecules and Matter
- Work in a chemical laboratory in a safe and responsible manner, both singly and as part of a team
- Follow a precise set of experimental instructions and present and discuss the results in the form of a clear, concise scientific report
- Use personal computers for the collection, analysis, processing and presentation of quantitative experimental data
- Demonstrate an appreciation of the source of errors in quantitative measurements and the design of experiments to reduce those errors
- Locate and use information in the scientific literature to investigate a scientific topic or to solve a scientific problem and present this information as a detailed written report or summarised in an oral presentation
- Make use of a range of IT applications for the production of coursework in different presentation formats including reports and oral presentations. |
