A practice-based unit which builds familiarity (and skill) with a suite of tools for undertaking and reporting scientific research - to include: professional and academic writing; use of databases/literature searching; mathematics and data analysis - culminating in presentation of scientific work to a professional standard. The unit aims to: Develop student competency and proficiency across a number of key skills used routinely by practicing chemists and which have multiple benefits in relation to employability and careers in a more general sense. On the successful completion of the course, students will be able to: ILO 1 Successfully analyse and report scientific work in an appropriate format. Developed AssessedILO 2 Use appropriately industry-standard software packages and tools to analyse, predict and present chemical concepts, ideas and information. Developed Assessed <div> Maths skills, writing skills.</div>  Mathematics for chemistry Analytical chemistry Science writing   This course is delivered through a blend of different activities, including: synchronous sessions; workshops; small-group facilitated sessions; alumni panel discussion and self-directed learning activities. As a practice-based unit, students will be required to generate and maintain a portfolio of work throughout the year that will be assessed against task-specific rubrics that allow students to demonstrate acquisition of the appropriate level of competency in each area of activity. There will be regular opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work through synchronous sessions, group activities and through written feedback for submitted portfolio work. 2 Written assignment (inc essay) 100% <div> Written and/ or oral feedback on all the individual coursework from either the academics delivering the material or personal tutors. Self-study feedback for many exercises through comparison of students work and model answers. Sections of course are taught in a workshop or clinic form where students can attempt the exercises and receive immediate feedback. The academics delivering the material are also available to see students and provide feedback on any particular aspects of the course as requested</div>  CHEM10510 Chemical Research Skills Pre-Requisite Compulsory First year chemistry units N The Sciences good study guide, Northedge, Andy, Open University, 1997 ISBN: 0749234113 Study and communication skills for the chemical sciences, Overton, Tina, Oxford University Press, 2019, ISBN: 9780198821816 Beginning calculations in physical chemistryJohnson, Barry R.; Scott, Stephen K.Oxford University Press, 1997, ISBN: 0198559658 Skills for a scientific life, Helliwell, John R., CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2017, ISBN: 149876875For Information and advice on Link2Lists reading list software, see: <a href="http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/academicsupport/informationandadviceonlink2listsreadinglistsoftware/">http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/academicsupport/informationandadviceonlink2listsreadinglistsoftware/</a>  Lectures 12 Practical classes & workshops 5 0 77
