Learning Outcomes, Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods A. Knowledge and Understanding Assess an unfamiliar problem in synthetic organic chemistry and be able to design and implement a suitable solution. Present chemical information clearly and concisely Research information from literature/manuals/internet. Effectively plan a project and record data and their critical analysis. Design, plan and implement research questions to problems in synthetic organic chemistry including evaluation of hazards and environmental effects. Develop general strategies for synthetic organic chemistry including the identification of additional information required and problems where there is not a unique solution. Teaching and Learning Methods Lectures, seminars, structured laboratory classes, practical projects Assessment methods Exams, Laboratory reports, project report group and individual presentations B. Subject-specific skills Select appropriate techniques and procedures for the synthesis of specific compounds. Demonstrate competence in the planning, design and execution of experiments Evaluate different potential solutions to an unfamiliar problem. Work independently, under minimum supervision, and be self-critical in the evaluation of risks, experimental procedures and outcomes. Use an understanding of the limits of accuracy of experimental data to inform the planning of future work. Teaching and Learning Methods Lectures, seminars, structured laboratory classes, directed reading, group and individual projects and presentations. Assessment methods Exams, Laboratory reports, project report group and individual presentations C. Thinking Skills Evaluate technical and theoretical information Adapt and apply methodology to the solution of unfamiliar problems. Assimilate, evaluate and present research results objectively. Undertake an individual research project, the outcome of which is potentially publishable. Assess the success of such a project Teaching and Learning Methods Skills developed through seminars, data interpretation, case studies, practical work, research projects, presentations, problem solving. Assessment methods Practical reports, essays and group and individual presentations. D. Other skills relevant to employability and personal development Problem-solving skills including the demonstration of self-direction and originality Communicate and interact with professionals from disciplines Ability to exercise initiative and personal responsibility Ability to make decisions in complex and unpredictable situations Independent learning ability required for continuing professional development. Work independently under minimum supervision. Develop and write a research project within guidelines and be able to assess the success of such a project. Teaching and Learning Methods Skills developed through seminars, data interpretation, case studies, practical work, research projects, presentations, problem solving. Assessment methods Exams, Laboratory reports, project report group and individual presentations. 13. Programme Structures* 14. Awards and Credits* Level Module Module Title Credit Code rating
