Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
This module consists of 30 50-minute online lectures and three revision lectures. These lectures will be used to provide the background material necessary to succeed in this module. The lectures will be supported by six tutorial workshops. In the tutorials students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge that they have gained from the lectures to problems of varying difficulty. Students will be expected to spend an additional six hours per week in private study related to this module. |
Syllabus |
|
1) Ionic species, electrochemistry and introduction to surface Chemistry (10 lectures) 2) The link between molecular and thermodynamic properties (10 lectures) 3) Quantum Mechanics (10 lectures) |
