KJM1400 Organic Chemistry Course description

The course provides an overview of the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. The laboratory course includes organic synthesis and the use of UV and IR spectrophotometers.

Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, or equivalent knowledge.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• is familiar with the structure, stereochemistry and bonds in organic molecules
• is familiar with organic acids and bases
• is familiar with reactions with alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, haloalkanes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, phenols, ethers, thiols, aldehydes, carboxyl acid, carboxylic acid derivatives and amines
• is familiar with the equipment used in organic chemistry and how it is used
• has some knowledge of the planning and performance of organic synthesis
• is capable of keeping up-to-date on key knowledge in the field of organic chemistry.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• reading and following the procedure of organic synthesis published in the chemical literature
• checking the identity and purity of a synthesis product with the use of physical measurements and spectroscopy
• reporting the results of their own laboratory work so that it can be reproduced by others.

General competence

The student is capable of:

• using knowledge about the reactivity of molecules to consider alternative syntheses and choosing a synthesis that entails little risk in relation to health, safety and the environment
• assessing their own work and, if necessary, proposing measures to improve an existing procedure
• communicating the results of laboratory work to both chemists and non-chemists, both orally and in writing
• contributing to good HSE practice in a workplace through attitudes to and knowledge of organic chemistry

The teaching will consist of lectures and exercises.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• 6-day laboratory course with 6 pertaining written assignments (2-5 pages per assignment)
• 10 assignments in OWL (Online Web Learning) (2-4 hours per assignment)

Part 1: Individual written exam, 3 hours, counts 80 %.

Part 2: Individual folder exam (OWL submission, 2-4 hours per submission, and laboratory reports, 2-5 pages per report), counts 20%. The 10 best submissions of a total of 15 submissions on OWL (Online Web Learning)

Both examinations must be passed to pass the course (grade E or better). All counting submissions in the folder must also be passed to pass (grade E or better) in the subject.

Exam results can be appealed.

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculators internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grade scale A-F.

Bachelor i administrasjon og ledelse i offentlig virksomhet er et praksisnært studium samtidig som det har en teoretisk og forskningsbasert forankring. Studenter som har gjennomført studiet vil være kvalifisert for å gå direkte ut i arbeidslivet innen et bredt felt av stillinger. Studiet er særlig innrettet mot arbeid i offentlig sektor, men studentene vil også ha relevant kompetanse for næringslivet og frivillige organisasjoner.

Bachelorgraden oppnås i samsvar med forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet. Fullført og bestått studium gir graden Bachelor i administrasjon og ledelse.

I femte semester er det muligheter for å fordype seg, blant annet innen jus, bærekraftig økonomistyring, helse- og velferdspolitikk og HR. Det er også muligheter for å ta det femte semesteret i utlandet.

Hovedmålene for studiet er å

· gi yrkeskompetanse innenfor organisasjonsfag, samfunnsfag, økonomi, jus, administrasjon og ledelse

· kvalifisere for videre studier

· være allmenndannende

Studiet består av en kombinasjon av forelesninger, gruppearbeid, individuelle innleveringer og obligatorisk tilstedeværelse.

Studiet vil kunne gi opptak ved ulike mastergradsstudier innen administrasjons- og ledelsesfeltet i Norge. Det er også mulig å fortsette på masterstudier i utlandet eller på masterstudiet i offentlig administrasjon og styring ved Handelshøyskolen, OsloMet.
