Aims |
|
|
The aim of this module is to offer students a grounding in organic chemistry and spectroscopy that is directly relevant to Pharmacology. |
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
(LO1) Upon successful completion of this module, a student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the structure and bonding in a range of molecules, from simple organics to larger biologically relevant structures. |
|
|
(LO2) Upon successful completion of this module, a student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the significant role of stereochemistry and conformation in a pharmacological setting |
|
|
(LO3) Upon successful completion of this module, a student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of an array of chemical reactions |
|
|
(LO4) Upon successful completion of this module, a student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of a range of spectroscopic methods |
|
|
(LO5) Upon successful completion of this module, a student will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the chemical principles in both the synthesis of biologically relevant structures |
|
|
(LO6) Upon successful completion of this module, a student will be able to apply these concepts and principles to process and solve unseen organic chemistry problems. |
|
|
(S1) Improving own learning/performance - Reflective practice |
|
|
(S2) Critical thinking and problem solving - Problem identification |
|
|
(S3) Personal attributes and qualities - Resilience |
|
|
(S4) Students will develop independent learning and self-evaluation skills |
|
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
|
The course will be taught through a series of online lectures (equivalent of 27 lectures with additional revisions sessions). These are supported which are supported by 8 workshops throughout the term to give students the opportunity to obtain immediate and directed feedback. A mid-term class test will allow students to see how they are progressing. |
