A | Semester 1 2023-24 |
The purpose of this module is to introduce students to key concepts of chemical structure, reactivity and mechanism through a blend of lectures, tutorials and workshops. In particular, the module will help students make the transition from their pre-university studies to university-level study, and will ensure that they have a firm foundation in these fundamental topics, which will underpin much of the future Chemistry modules.
Students will develop knowledge and understanding of

Written feedback will be given for tutorial work within a week. Written and/or oral feedback for workshops will be given either during the sessions or within a week. Closed exam results with per-question breakdown are returned to the students via supervisors within 5 weeks. Outline answers are made available via the Chemistry web pages when the students receive their marks, so that they can assess their own detailed progress/achievement. The examiners’ reports for each question are made available to the students via the Chemistry web pages.
