It is now several weeks that I have started teaching “Instrumental Analysis 2” and I have to say that I really enjoy this 3rd year chemistry course. Preparation is really a lot of work (especially the first time!) that has kept me busy most weekends since Christmas, but I find the sessions themselves very rewarding. Apart from the lectures, I am also grading a formal presentation by students that should help them prepare for interview situations.They give a presentation on one of their lab experiments, reporting on the measurement principle, set-up, results and discussion. Questions are also part of the presentation. So far it’s been fun and presentations have been pretty well prepared. I not only give feedback on the scientific part, but also on the style of the presentation (slide design, voice, gestures, general impression).
