Maths Resources

The Maths Learning Centre (MLC) helps all students learn and use the maths they need at uni. The MLC offers seminars, workshops, online, and print resources. It also run a drop-in room in Hub Central from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday during teaching weeks. For more information, visit http://www.adelaide.edu.au/mathslearning/

Teaching materials and course documentation will be posted on the MyUni website (http://myuni.adelaide.edu.au/).

This course is delivered by the following means:

Lectures

Students attend timetabled classes of topics chosen as part of the course, as agreed with the Level 3 Chemistry Coordinator and Head of Discipline.

Practicals

Format 1 - Experiments

Practical exercises will provide students with "hands on" experience in the quantitative use of various analytical methods. In addition, students will be involved in the analysis of "real world" chemical samples.

Format 2 – Laboratory placement

All practical work will be conducted by lab placement in Research labs of the Chemistry academics. The placement will be conducted during the semester during the practicals

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

The course content includes a selection of the following topics:

• Industrial Contamination, Risk Assessment and Remediation
• Environmental and Human Toxicity of Heavy Metals
• Nuclear and Radiation Chemistry
• Chemometrics and Multivariate Statistics in the Context of Environmental Chemistry
• Inorganic and Organometallic Reaction Mechanisms
• Advanced Spectroscopy and Magnetism
• Introduction to X-ray Analysis
• Spectroscopy & Structure Determination
• Physical Organic Chemistry
• Advanced Organic Reactions
• Strategies and Tactics of Synthesis
• Electronic and Nuclear Spectroscopy
• Statistical Mechanics and Kinetics
• Advanced Quantum Mechanics

Attendance is compulsory at all scheduled chemistry practical sessions. The learning outcomes for this course are substantially dependent on laboratory experience and practice. Therefore, missing any practical class in a semester will result in a grade of FAIL being recorded for the course. Students with medical or compassionate reasons for non-attendance will be given an opportunity to make up missed practical sessions.

Assessment task	Type of assessment	Percentage of total assessment for grading purposes	Hurdle (Yes/No)	Outcomes being assessed	Approx timing of assessment
Summative Assignments	Formative & Summative	10%	No	5,9.13	Weeks 5,9,13
Practical	Formative & Summative	30%	No	1-10	Bi-weekly, major reports due every 3 weeks
Examination	Summative	60%	Yes (45%)	2-10	Exam period

Assessment Item	% needed to meet course requirement	Additional Assessment
Examination	45%	Yes - RAA Exam; a grade of at least 45% must obtained
Practical work is compulsory	Satisfactory completion of all practicals, including attendance of ALL practical sessions and reasonable attempt at ALL practical reports	Missed practicals can be made up

Practical reports (30% of total course grade)

This will come from assessment of experiment reports (major reports and minor reports submitted in the lab session).  In general, each experiment will be assessed on laboratory results (yield, appearance of product, melting point, graphs, quality of data etc.) as well as the laboratory note books and report. 

Summative Assignments (10% of total course grade)
Students will complete assignments on the course material.  Each assignment will consist of a series of short-answer and/or multiple-choice questions.

Examination (60% of total course grade)

The end-of-semester examination will be based primarily on lecture/tutorial material and will consist of a series of short-answer
and/or multiple-choice questions.

Submission of Assigned Work
Coversheets must be completed and attached to all submitted work. Coversheets can be obtained from the School Office (room G33 Physics) or from MyUNI. Work should be submitted via the assignment drop box at the School Office or via MyUni as instructed.

Extensions for Assessment Tasks
Extensions of deadlines for assessment tasks may be allowed for reasonable causes. Such situations would include compassionate and medical grounds of the severity that would justify the awarding of a supplementary examination. Evidence for the grounds must be provided when an extension is requested. Students are required to apply for an extension to the Course Coordinator before the assessment task is due. Extensions will not be provided on the grounds of poor prioritising of time. The assessment extension application form can be obtained from: https://sciences.adelaide.edu.au/study/student-support/forms-and-policies#academic-forms

Late Submission of Assessments
If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days or more late without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the mark.
