Description for 2024/25

This is a core module for all of the single honours chemistry programmes that explores a range of chemistry topics across the breadth of the chemical sciences and makes connections between them. The range of learning activities is designed to initiate progress towards the development of Keele's Graduate Attributes with an emphasis on the development of team working, problem-solving and independent research skills.

Aims
This module aims to introduce single honours students to an extended range of topics across the breadth of chemistry.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Work collaboratively to plan, implement and evaluate an experimental project drawing upon information from a range of sources: 1
Demonstrate competence in the use of standard chemical apparatus, procedures, and instrumentation through their application to the investigation of a chemical problem: 1
Disseminate the purpose, methodology, and results of an experimental group project via a rich media format and in accordance with professional conventions in chemistry: 1
Reflect on their own and their peers¿ contributions to a group project: 1
Extend and integrate first-year chemistry knowledge and skills to interpret and explain selected chemical phenomena, and to solve non-standard chemistry problems: 2
