<div> <div> <div> <div> <p>Students perform eight practical activities in the teaching laboratory over Semesters 1 and 2. These form the basis of four written laboratory reports, two poster presentations and two face to face oral examination/interviews, which are submitted according to a personalised timetable. Marked reports carry individualised feedback. The unit is supported by a Blackboard site containing generic information and including a student discussion forum for each activity. Plenary sessions will be organised before the start of the course and towards the end of Semester 1 to introduce the unit and provide/receive generic feedback.</p></div> </div> </div></div><p> </p>

<div> <p>First Year Chemical Engineering Laboratory Handbook. </p><p>COSHH, risk assessment and hazard data sheets will be made available to students. </p><p>Information relating to each experiment is available on Blackboard. It is expected that the students read this information before the experiment and have made some preliminary note. The safety data associated with the experiment MUST be read prior to starting the experiment.</p></div><p> </p>
