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 experimental techniques and the lecture material presented in Chemical Physics 3S1 and 3S2.
-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 computers for the collection, analysis, processing and presentation of quantitative experimental data.
-Demonstrate appreciation of the source of errors in quantitative measurements and the design of experiments to reduce those errors.
