Overview
Module aims and purpose
The module purpose is for you to be able to further develop and apply analytical and physical theory and techniques to modern current chemical topics.聽
You will develop your knowledge of both physical and analytical chemistry by studying the core topics in some depth. In lectures you will learn key concepts and in workshops you will explore your understanding and have the opportunity to gain skills by the application of knowledge. 聽
Bo Xiao (boxiao_nuist@163.com) will also be teaching on this module.
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Quantitatively assess and interpret data from mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, X-ray spectroscopy, electron microscopy and colloid chemistry;
- Analyse and present data in an appropriate format;
- Critically assess taught analytical techniques for applicability in novel situations;
- Demonstrate the ability to solve problems in quantum and computational chemistry.

Seminars (4 sessions)
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
Core material will be delivered in lectures (=28) and accompanied by workshops (=7) and PC classes (=2) to develop skills in the application of knowledge. Revision sessions (=4) will develop confidence in problem solving and application of knowledge.聽
Study hours
At least 36 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

Assessment
Requirements for a pass
Students need to achieve an overall module mark of 40% to pass this module.
Summative assessment
Type of assessment | Detail of assessment | % contribution towards module mark | Size of assessment | Submission date | Additional information |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
In-person written examination | Closed-book exam | 67 | 2 hours | ||
Set exercise | Problem sheet | 20 | Semester 1, Week 8 | ||
Practical skills assessment | Mini practical | 13 | Semester 1, Week 11 |
Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
Assessments with numerical marks
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
- where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.
The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.
Students can receive feedback on their work during the workshop and seminar sessions.聽
