Objectives
On completion of this module, students should be able to ...(a) have an appreciation of important advanced topics in chemistry
(b) be able to solve deductive problems where appropriate
(c) be able to critically assess current chemical literature where appropriate
Learning outcomes
Students should become familiar with advanced topics and current research in a range of topical areas within chemistry
Skills outcomes
Managing Self: Planning, time management
Syllabus
Two topics of 8-9 teaching sessions duration on aspects of advanced current chemistry will be given. Students will be required to submit coursework for both topics. Students are free to attend more topics if desired.
Examples of topics include:
- Organometallic Mechanisms and Transformations
- Asymmetric Synthesis
In each topic lecturers will present current advanced chemistry and/or current research findings, referring students to the research literature where appropriate. Students will be required to read up to date research literature to advance their knowledge beyond the material presented in lectures.
