Introduce the fundamentals of analytical science and why analytical data is so important.</p><p>2. Consider the important characteristics in selecting an analytical method</p><p>3. Compare Classical Techniques with Instrumental Techniques and to see where each is appropriate.</p><p>4. Show basic chromatography and why separation is important in modern analytical procedures</p><p>5. Consider the principles of spectroscopy and the interaction of light with molecules.</p><p>6. Use appropriate procedures to validate analytical data.</p> <p>This unit is delivered entirely via distance learning, including assessment. The course runs over 10 weeks, with a nominal 15h/week of student work.</p><p>A typical week consists of the following:<br/>The unit runs in 2-week cycles with theoretical material followed by a practical video and then processing of the data from the practical into a formal report.<br/>- An overview of the material, presenting the learning objectives for the week.<br/>- Explanatory material (~5h of student activity/week) in the form of video lectures, the course text and links to further online resources such as videos.<br/>- Self-Study Exercises (~2h/week), including formative quizzes.<br/>- Practical exercises, including the processing of ‘real’ data gained in the laboratory for practical report submission. This takes the form of one formative exercise followed by a summative exercise with four practicals.<br/>- Workshop (~1h/week). Students are encouraged to discuss the practical exercises and data processing in the forums, where tutors will facilitate peer learning, providing feedback/input where necessary.<br/>- Tutorial (~1h every 2 weeks). Students will video conference with their tutor in groups of 6-8 to discuss and give/receive feedback.<br/>- Reflective journal (~1 h in weeks 1 and 10 of the unit).  </p><p>There is also private study of ~4h/week consisting of:<br/>- Revision<br/>- Coursework e.g. critical analysis of research literature<br/>- Further practice (e.g. after the tutorials)<br/>- Independent/further study</p><p>The times specified will vary greatly through the weeks. For example, week 7 is mostly dedicated to performing the virtual lab experiment and producing a lab report.  Week 10 will consist entirely of private study and summative assessment exercises.<br/> </p> <ul> <li> Select an appropriate analytical technique based on analytical figures of merit</li> <li> Indicate the differences between classical and instrumental techniques in terms of accuracy and precision</li> <li> Identify the important steps in a chemical analysis</li> <li> Analyse the level of an analyte using classical and spectroscopic techniques</li> <li> Identify the important factors in obtaining valid data </li></ul> <ul> <li> Calculate the level of an analyte from practical analytical data.</li> <li> Identify unknowns from spectroscopic data.</li> <li> Justify the selection of an analytical techniques based analytical figures of merit.</li> <li> Calculate limit of detection and quantification.</li> <li> Construct and critically evaluate quality control data. </li></ul> <ul> <li> Critically evaluate practical analytical data for classical techniques, spectroscopy, and chromatography</li> <li> Prepare formal reports based on the effectiveness of data obtained  </li></ul><div>  </div> <ul> <li> Produce accurate, efficient and coherent reports on analytical measurements and their analysis</li> <li> Perform group work with practical data through discussion forums</li> <li> Participate in online discussions and tutorial sessions using enhanced communication skills  </li></ul> <div> This unit is delivered entirely via distance learning, including assessment.
