| ACADEMIC CONTENT | |
| Overall objective |
The course is offered for a short period of time and only to students who have passed the Bachelor Course Applied Spectroscopy
|
| Detailed description of content |
Knowledge and concepts about structures of and bonding and coordination in inorganic molecules and complexes is generated and developed based on elements position in the periodic table combined with quantum chemistry and physical-chemical models and theories. In the laboratory sessions these effects are illustrated, syntheses will be performed by the students and quantitative analysis are performed. For each experiment a report must be prepared and submitted. The report addresses questions and the analytical data obtained during the experiment. |
| Course material and Reading list |

| Evaluation and feedback |
The course includes formative evaluation based on dialogue between the students and the teacher(s). Students are expected to provide constructive critique, feedback and viewpoints during the course if it is needed for the course to have better quality. Every other year at the end of the course, there will also be an evaluation through a questionnaire in SurveyXact. The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher. Furthermore, students can, in accordance with RUCs ‘feel free to state your views’ strategy through their representatives at the study board, send evaluations, comments or insights form the course to the study board during or after the course. |
