Course overview
In this course, students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving and evaluative skills, in both theory-focussed workshops and practical based laboratory activities, in addition to technical laboratory skills, focussing on further developing an understanding of organic chemistry (determination of molecular structure from spectroscopic data, advanced organic reaction mechanisms, strategies and tactics in organic chemistry).
Course learning outcomes
- Apply knowledge of interpretation of spectroscopic data, organic reaction mechanisms, and strategies and tactics in organic chemistry to conceptual problems, and to evaluate proposed solutions
- Demonstrate proficiency in accurately representing chemical structures, formulae, equations and reaction mechanisms
- Demonstrate proficiency in undertaking individual and/or team-based preparative laboratory investigations using appropriate apparatus, techniques and safe laboratory practices
- Analyse, interpret and present the results of preparative laboratory experiments
- Communicate results of laboratory experiment in written scientific reports and/or oral presentations
- Design and plan an investigation by selecting and applying appropriate practical and/or theoretical techniques or tools
