Content:

Subject 610-497 comprises:

• a series of seminars (equivalent to ten lectures) dealing with intellectual property, its nature and use;

• a selection of six lecture units (each of ten lectures) from a list that currently includes: chemical instrumentation, reaction dynamics, surface chemistry, applied laser spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, polymer chemistry, 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 1997, including an abstract of each course, will be available from the School of Chemistry during November 1996;

• lectures and seminars dealing with safety in the laboratory, library resources, spectroscopic services, writing skills and seminar technique.

Assessment:

• Attendance at the course 'Intellectual Property, its Nature and Use' and a pass in the subsequent written assignment.

• the six elected lecture units will be examined by formal written examinations each of 1.5 hours duration held in the University assessment period at the end of Semester 1;

• all assessed lecture units are of equal value, each one corresponding to one sixth of the marks available for the advanced coursework unit as a whole.
