6 ECTS credits
150 h study time
Offer 1 with catalog number 1024074ANR for all students in the 1st semester at a (A) Bachelor - preliminary level.
Lecture:
The lectures provide an introduction to inorganic chemistry.
Practical exercises:
In the practical exercise sessions students solve problems under supervision. The selected problems are a direct application of knowledge and concepts gained in the lectures.
Laboratory practicals:
The laboratory practicals support the theoretical course Chemistry.
The practical tasks should be prepared beforehand and are carried out independently by the student.
Description tutoring: after class, by appointment or via e-mail.
During weekly afternoon tutoring session (dates to be announced ad valvas at the beginning of the academic year).
Organisation of the lessons:
Lecture: The lectures are organised according the 'flipped classroom' principle:
1) All lectures are available as a video recording on Canvas
2) Students view certain video recordings beforehand, according to instructions in the learning guide on Canvas
3) During joint sessions with the lecturer, the subject matter is treated interactively and, where necessary, further explained or deepened.
Practical excercises:
1) The students make the exercises available via Canvas at home. Explanations of these exercises are usually available on paper or via recording (also via Canvas).
2) During the sessions, the students make some new exercises (of exam level). Students can also ask questions about other exercises here.
3) The lecturer guides the students to the right solution at their own pace.
Laboratory practicals:
The virtual learning platform LabBuddy is used.The students prepare and perform the labs using LabBuddy.
Students must purchase an annual license at the start of the semester.
Before starting a lab, students must complete the necessary preparation in the learning platform LabBuddy. The student must complete the work schedule in the ExperD of the relevant lab and answer all associated questions. During the lab, the lecturer can ask a student to explain his preparation. A student who has prepared incompletely is given a maximum of half an hour to further prepare the lab and then performs the lab alone (or with another student with incomplete preparation). Due to the lost time, only part of the lab can be performed.
D1: has an understanding of the basic principles of inorganic chemistry and can apply them (BaLO 1)
D2: has an understanding of the composition of matter (atoms, compounds) and can apply this (BaLO 1)
D3: has an understanding of the properties of pure compounds and their solutions and can apply them (BaLO 1)
D4: has an understanding of the properties of acids and bases and can apply them (BaLO 1)
D5: has an understanding of chemical reaction kinetics and chemical equilibrium and can apply this (BaLO 1)
D6: has an understanding of ionic equilibrium in aqueous solution and can apply this ((BaLO 1)
D7: has an understanding of basic electrochemistry and can apply this ((BaLO 1)
D8: has an understanding of chemical thermodynamics and can apply this (BaLO 1)
D9: is able to balance chemical reactions and to perform stoichiometrical calculations (BaLO 1)
D10: consults literature to achieve deeper understanding (BaLO 5)
D11: executes basic laboratory excercises in line with the safety guidelines (BaLO 9)
D12: processes the obtained measurement results and draws relevant conclusions from them (BaLO 6, 8)
D13: reports the results of the laboratory exercises in Dutch (BaLO 10, 11)
D14: consults relevant scientific literature to prepare for the laboratory exercises (BaLO 5, 10)
D15: delivers on agreements and committments (BaLO 12)
D16: communicates comprehensibly with team members (BaLO 12)
D17: contributes constructively to the laboratory exercises (BaLO 12)
AD1: reasons and acts in a structured and systematic manner (BaLO 9)
AD2: communicates in Dutch in a comprehensible and structured manner (BaLO 10, 11)
AD3: develops a professional attitude (BaLO 9, 10, 13)
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Lecture and Practical exercises:
During the 6th or 7th week of the academic year a test exam is held, covering a part of the syllabus (subject matter to be communicated via Canvas). This test exam is analogous in style and level to the exam in January, and consists for 60% of theory questions and 40% of exercises. When achieving a result of less than 7 out of 20 on one of the parts (theory or exercises), then the lowest number becomes the final result for this test exam.
This test exam counts for 16% of the total points for chemistry (i.e. 20% of the points Lecture and Practical exercises) and the subject matter covered in the test exam is omitted for the exam in January. In case of a second examination for chemistry (i.e. August - September) the entire course material must be known.
Laboratory practicals:
An illegitimate absence of more than 25 % at the laboratory practicals leads to an absent quotation for the laboratory practicals.
In the event of incomplete preparation or if it appears that the student has not made the preparation independently, the student in question will be sanctioned by minus points on his practical grade.
Students who arrive late will receive minus points on their practical grade.
Incompletely prepared students who need more than half an hour to complete their preparation in the lab or students who are more than half an hour late, can no longer participate in the lab and are illegitimate absent.
Students without a (correct) lab coat (correct lab coat: length approximately to knee height, with long sleeves and not a disposable coat) and/or safety goggles cannot participate in the lab and will be illegitimate absent.
