<p>This module intends to provide the student with an appreciation of what chemistry is and why it is important.  It will concentrate on the basic concepts underpinning chemistry and consider the wide variety of chemical processes that influence our daily lives.  The course will be delivered mainly by traditional lecture and regular tutorials and the practicals are designed to illustrate and augment the material. The assessment will include two in-class tests (15% each), laboratory work (20%) to improve students’ manipulative skills and one formal examination (50%).</p>
