Assessment Strategy

-threshold -Threshold (40%). Knowledge and understanding of the content covered in the course is basic; Problems of a routine nature are generally adequately solved; laboratory experiments are usually carried out with reasonable success though significance and limitations of experimental data and/or observations may not be fully recognised; transferable skills are at a basic level.

-good -Good (~60%). Knowledge base covers all essential aspects of subject matter dealt with in the programme and shows good evidence of enquiry beyond this. Conceptual understanding is good. Problems of a familiar and unfamiliar nature are solved in a logical manner; solutions are generally correct and acceptable. Laboratory work is carried out in a reliable and efficient manner, with a good appreciation of data analysis shown in write-ups. Performance in transferable skills is sound and shows no significant deficiencies.

-excellent -Excellent (>70%). Knowledge base is extensive and extends well beyond the work covered in the programme. Conceptual understanding is outstanding. Problems of a familiar and unfamiliar nature are solved with efficiency and accuracy; problem-solving procedures are adjusted to the nature of the problem. Laboratory work are exemplary and show a thorough analysis and appraisal of experimental results, with appropriate suggestions for improvement. Performance in transferable skills is generally very good.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe the basic principles of each instrumental method listed in the course description.

  • Interpret analytical data generated from the instrumental methods listed in the course description.

  • Perform simple analytical experiments, utilising the instrumental methods listed in the course description, to separate and/or characterise compounds and materials.

  • Select which instrumental method or methods may be most appropriate to separate and/or characterise compounds and materials arising from a range of science disciplines.

  • Write up laboratory reports.
