Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:

• Understand chemical phenomenon through experiments and theoretical tools.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:

• Execute complex synthetic processes in chemistry.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:

• Develop critical thinking and analysis of detailed steps in chemical processes.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:

• Develop critical understanding and analysis of molecular processes as seen through spectroscopic tools such as nmr, ir and ms.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:

Integrated Assessment:

• The programme as designed requires a student to take and pass a minimum of 120 Credits.
• Modules in group C (40 Credits) are compulsory and design competent and proficient in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to develop and enhance the student's research capability and skills.
• The additional 64 Credits are freely selected from the remaining CHEMISTRY groups.
• The Y group is a stand alone group and is compulsory by default.
• The department currently houses two high field nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, hence we require our students to be competent and proficient in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
• All modules final examination papers are moderated externally and the scripts are assessed by both the course instructor and the external examiner.
• All projects reports are assessed by both internal and external examiners with the final mark being the average of these two.
