3. Course DetailsCourse Description2(Handbook Entry)This course teaches the essential methods in analytical chemistry applicable to chemists,biologists, and most other disciplines of science. The course covers data analysis methods oftreating analytical data including estimation of uncertainties, chromatography and otherseparation techniques, the applications of spectroscopy (UV/Visible absorption, infrared,fluorescence, NMR and mass spectrometry) to analysis and electrochemistry including pHmeasurements. These analytical techniques will be applied to solving chemical structureproblems and interesting applications of these techniques will be covered (e.g., gene and proteinsequencing and metal speciation in environmental samples).Course Aims3The aim of this course is to introduce students to the physical and chemical basis of analyticaltechniques and to get them to be able to evaluate why certain methods might be better thanothers for a given situation.Course Learning OutcomesStudent LearningOutcomes41.Describe the analytical and chemical principles underlying chromatography and massspectrometry.2.Describe the analytical and chemical principles underlying electrochemistry.3.Describe the analytical and chemical principles underlying atomic, molecular electronic,infrared and NMR spectroscopies.4.Solve unknown chemical structures using data from mass spectrometry, NMR, IRspectroscopy, UV-Vis and pH measurements.5.Describe key applications of the various analytical techniques covered by the course.Graduate Attributes Developed in this Course5Science GraduateAttributes5Select the level ofFOCUSActivities / Assessment0 NO FOCUS1 MINIMAL2 MINOR3 MAJORResearch, inquiry andanalytical thinkingabilities3Capability and motivationfor intellectualdevelopment2Ethical, social s are explicitly taught how to write a formal scientific report. Thereare several weeks of instruction and formative assessment followed by XXfull assessed reports.Teamwork, collaborativeand management skills2In the laboratory, students work in a variety of teams (pairs, groups).Teamwork and management skills will be developed and refined. Butteamwork is not an explicit learning objective of this course, it is implicit.Information literacy2Preparation questions for practicals, ability to use spreadsheet tools toperform statistical analysis.Students are guided through several analytical techniques and instrumentsin the first half of the lab course (skills assessment). In the second half ofthe course, student have to combine techniques to solve a number of morecomplex problems (assessment by written reports). Being the first SecondLevel Chemistry course, these problems are well-defined, nonetheless thisis the beginning of the development analytical and critical thinkingdevelopment for students of chemistry.Many of the techniques and analytical concepts will be new to students,which will provide motivation to learn. Problem solving classes in the secondhalf of the course will provide the opportunity for intellectual development.Developed in lectures, applied in laboratory, tested in exam.2UNSW Handbook: http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.auLearning and Teaching Unit: Course Outlines4Learning and Teaching Unit: Learning Outcomes5Contextualised Science Graduate Attributes: -graduate-attributes33
Major Topics(Syllabus Outline) Relationship to OtherCourses within theProgramData analysis: Uncertainty and error, student T distribution, hypothesis testingcalibration, spreadsheets.Separation techniques: Phase equilibria, solvent extraction, chromatography.Mass spectrometry: The definition of mass spectrometry (MS), introduction toMS instrumentation (ionization methods, mass analysers, detectors),interpreting mass spectra,Electrochemistry: Nernst equation, definition and measurement of pH, Ionselective electrodes.Chemical and analytical spectroscopy: Atomic spectroscopy, molecularelectronic spectroscopy, infrared absorption spectroscopy, nuclear magneticspectroscopy (NMR).The course builds onto the skill and knowledge from 2 Units of First Year Chemistry, which arepre-requisite courses. CHEM2041 is a pre-requisite for CHEM2021 (Organic Chem) and 2031(Inorganic Chem) and a recommended course for CHEM2011 (Physical Chem). Essential labskills and basic knowledge from this course are assumed knowledge for these other courses.The course integrates strongly with the Level 3 Analytical Chemistry course (CHEM6041).4. Rationale and Strategies Underpinning the CourseTeaching StrategiesThe development of a course which progressively builds on earlier material and links to materialpresented in the laboratory supports “Engaging”1. Effective learning is supported when students are actively engaged in the learning process.2. Effective learning is supported by a climate of inquiry where students feel appropriatelychallenged and activities are linked to research and scholarship.1.2.3.4.Rationale for learning andteaching in this course6,7Face-to-face lectures for new and complex concepts. Final exam assessmentOn-line learning for statistical methods. On-line assessmentCore skills assessment. Pass/Fail hurdle taskProblem solving in the laboratory. Laboratory report assessmentEnsuring that material presented in lectures relates to the laboratory material allows“Contextualising”6. Students become more engaged in the learning process if they can see the relevance of theirstudies to professional, disciplinary and/or personal contexts.The course content has been tailored to allow “Dialogue” between the staff and the students.7. If dialogue is encouraged between students and teachers and among students (in and out ofclass), thus creating a community of learners, student motivation and engagement can beincreased.In addition, the course has been “Designed” to10. Clearly articulated expectations, goals, learning outcomes, and course requirements increasestudent motivation and improve learning.12. Graduate attributes - the qualities and skills the university hopes its students will develop as aresult of their university studies — are most effectively acquired in a disciplinary context.“Group work in the laboratory groups supports14. Learning cooperatively with peers — rather than in an individualistic or competitive way —may help students to develop interpersonal, professional, and cognitive skills to a higher level.Continual feedback through laboratory work allows for analysis and reflection16. Meaningful and timely feedback to students improves learning.6Reflecting on your teaching4

9. Course Evaluation and DevelopmentStudent feedback is gathered periodically by various means. Such feedback is considered carefully with a view to acting on itconstructively wherever possible. This course outline conveys how feedback has helped to shape and develop this course.Mechanisms ofReviewLast ReviewDateComments or Changes Resulting from ReviewsMajor CourseReview2016Significant changes to course to better reflect changes in research activities anddemands from industry led to reshuffling of content between the core 2nd Yearcourse. For 2041 this meant that the emphasis has been shifted further towardspractical problem solving with some of the more theoretical descriptions ofspectroscopy moving to Physical Chemistry 2011. Instead structuralcharacterisation of organic compounds is now included in 2041 with 8 new lecturesand a practical lab exercise.To further address the need for more practically-oriented teaching, laboratory hourshave been increased to 4 hours while lectures are reduced to 2 hours. Part of thelaboratory assessment now is also based on passing core skills identified as criticalfor chemistry graduates.In response to the ever-increasing importance of internet based tools in theworkplace, the statistical component of this course is not only delivered fully onlinebut students will also get hands-on experience with hands-on advanced statisticaltools.\2011In order to reduce assessment time (for both staff and students) written reports havebeen phased out for all but one of the analytical labs. Marking of analytical resultswill be done in the laboratory.Exam reduced to 2 h.
