Note: Must be taken concurrently with 610-496 Chemistry Research Project (50 points)
Contact: With the exception of 'Intellectual Property, its Nature and Use', which will be delivered in semester two, all assessed lecture courses (see below) will be delivered in semester one.
Content:
Subject 610-497 comprises:
- Ten lectures in the area of polymer chemistry.
- A series of seminars (equivalent to ten lectures) dealing with intellectual property, its nature and use.
- A selection of five lecture units (each of eight lectures) from a list that currently includes : chemical instrumentation, reaction dynamics, surface chemistry, applied laser spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, analytical chemistry, X-ray crystallography, DNA intercalators, advanced organic synthesis, organic reactive intermediates, organic reaction mechanisms, NMR spectroscopy, natural product chemistry and bio-organic chemistry. The selection should be made in consultation with the research supervisor and submitted for approval by the Head of School. Some units may not be offered due to staff availability or insufficient enrolment; other units may be substituted. Full details for 1996, including an abstract of each course, will be available from the School of Chemistry during November 1995.
- Lectures and seminars dealing with safety in the laboratory, library resources, spectroscopic services, writing skills and seminar technique.
Assessment:
Hurdle requirements
- Attendance at the course 'Safety in the Laboratory'.
- A pass in the safety course. Students who fail to reach the required standard will have to carry out an additional study program and reassessment. A pass in the safety course is essential before students are allowed to proceed to the advanced lecture course and the research project.
Assessed Items
- The polymer chemistry unit and the five elected lecture units will be examined by a formal written examination of 1.5 hours duration held in the University assessment period at the end of semester one.
- The intellectual property unit will be examined by assignment during semester two.
- All assessed lecture units are of equal value, each one corresponding to one seventh of the marks available for the advanced coursework unit as a whole.
