Learning Outcomes
Subject-specific Knowledge:
- On completion of this module students will gain: Knowledge and understanding of the theory and application of analytical methods.
- Specification, planning, implementation and reporting of a major laboratory study.
Subject-specific Skills:
- Observation and recording of experimental data.
- Technical presentation.
- Preparation of technical report.
- The competent and safe use of laboratory equipment.
- Understanding of risk assessment and COSHH.
Key Skills:
- Numerical skills.

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- The courses in Analytical Methods are covered in lectures, and are reinforced by seminars and by weekly problem sheets, leading to the required problem solving capability. Assessment is through written examination which enables each student to demonstrate an ability to analyse and solve new problems.
- The extended laboratory project provides experience of planning and teamworking and develops the ability to select and use appropriate experimental techniques. Assessment is based primarily upon a written report together with an oral presentation.
