- Aims:
-
This is a general chemistry module aimed at developing and consolidating fundamental aspects of basic understanding. Students will be encouraged to gain a deeper understanding of elementary core material by a combination of discussion, general reading, essay work and problem solving at a more advanced level than previously required. Students will be expected to read externally on related topics. The sessions will be devoted to discussion of set work and problem solving exercises aimed at developing a deeper understanding and awareness of the implications and ramifications of previous chemical knowledge. In addition, each student will be required to submit an essay, which will be on a topic, which is relevant to the broader issues of chemical study and knowledge.
