Inhoud

HOC

The course “Applications in Analytical and Environmental Sciences” provides seminars on current topics in chemistry research. It consists of five sessions given by guest speakers on various topics. The following topics are given as examples and are not exhaustive. They will be updated in line with the developments and the evolution of research techniques.

  1. Radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry
  2. Atmospheric chemistry
  3. Food chemistry and analysis
  4. Geochemistry
  5. Forensic analysis

 

Zelf

The student in an individual work will choose a theme. This theme will be translated into a synthesis report of about 5 pages in which, based on a first introduction and a review of the literature (2 or 3 scientific articles), a detailed research plan will be proposed. This plan will include the scientific questions, the proposed methodology as well as an indication of the work packages, and the proposed schedule for the research. The report will be written using Layman'terms.

Leerresultaten

general compentencies

The purpose of the first part of this course is to provide an overview of the latest analytical techniques in the field of earth sciences and the environment and to draw the student's attention to societal problems raised by human activities and the environmental changes they may induce. This part therefore provides additional theoretical support for the introductory course on environmental chemistry in bachelor's courses.

For the second part of the course, the specific learning outcomes are:

  1. The student demonstrates the skills to search for state-of-the-art scientific literature and to write a structured report before tackling a research problem.
  2. The student learns analytical, synthetic and problem-solving skills at an academic level.
  3. The student is able to clearly formulate research questions.
  4. The student is able, after a first introduction to the work (part I) to translate research questions into work packages with predefined timing.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Schriftelijk bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer

Binnen de categorie Examen Schriftelijk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • Written + oral met een wegingsfactor 100 en aldus 100% van het totale eindcijfer.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

Written part includes questions on the various seminars followed by an oral examination consisting in the defence of their report in front of the jury constituted by Profs. Claeys, Elskens and Leermakers. This combination makes it possible to evaluate the theoretical knowledge as well as the strength of the student's analysis and synthesis.
