Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH)) |
Mode of activity | Learning & Teaching Activity | NESH (Study Hours) | NESH Description |
Face To Face | Lecture | 20 | Lectures will be in person. The slides used by the instructors will be uploaded on Moodle at least 5 days prior to the lecture taking place and the session will be recorded and made available on Moodle for learning consolidation. Articles or relevant reading materials will be made available on Moodle and will be used as a starting point for discussions in class. |
Face To Face | Tutorial | 15 | Tutorials will be in-person. These will tackle the interpretation of analytical spectra and chromatograms to deconvolute the information included thereby thus allowing molecular structure elucidation. The session may happen in small groups to foster student participation and engagement and to allow constructive discussions among the cohort. |
Online | Guided independent study | 165 | Each week reading materials and resources will be issued on Moodle (these will also be shared via the Module leganto list at the beginning of the module should you wish more time to engage with the materials). You are expected to read and reflect on the essential reading material which can be discussed during the seminar sessions. Resources to help you to read and take productive study notes created by the University's Academic Skills team can be accessed on the module moodle page. |
