Advanced Chemistry Practical - SHC4006

Assessment 1: Written assignment (coursework)

In the first half of the module, students may be required to complete proformas which are marked and returned with comments at the following session.
         

Written assignment

Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Students are required to complete practical reports for each of the main subjects covered in the module. Each report will require students to provide evidence of achieving the appropriate learning outcomes and will a report of an experience or activity
Mini-projects – assessment through a minimum of 4 practical reports. Each report carries 25% of the final mark and is 3 pages long (approx. 1800 words per report).
50%   Organic
25%   Physical
25%   Inorganic
Tutor reassessments are only available for those having attended the appropriate practical sessions.

This module is designed to develop advanced practical skills across the main core disciplines of chemical sciences and to demonstrate the combination of skills needed to undertake research projects, from initial conception and planning, to undertaking practical work, reviewing results and reporting results. The practical classes will provide an opportunity to use sophisticated experimental techniques in organic, physical, inorganic and analytical science. 
The module is constructed to provide students with experience of extended exercises, working both individually and in small groups; the sessions will involve experimental design, evaluation and interpretation of results, presenting and reporting results.

It is a condition of accreditation to notify the RSC of any changes to an accredited degree. 
Reaccreditation due 2023/24.
