CHEM-377 on track

Right – with all the administrative issues sorted out, all there is left to do is to put the lectures togehter 😉 Well – still quite a bit of work ahead, but at least something that I have done before. In the past few weeks, we have co-ordinated lab and lecture, including the lab-duties. These will include oral exams and a “business-like” presentation of one of the lab experiments, including commenting on the collected data. This is going to be fun, but also a lot of work!I now have a pretty good idea, what this course is about and everything makes good sense. We have tweaked a few things, e.g. that students can bring colleagues along for their talk, so that they present in front of a committee rather than a single person. Mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy (theory and applications) are a fixed part of the schedule. I am also going to set-up a course home page with my colleague and make the teaching material available to students, incl self-assessment quizzes, where they can test their understandung of the discussed topics.
