KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I Course description

Language of instruction: Norwegian 

In this course, the student will continue to develop skills from the practical training period in the first year of the programme. The course includes practical training in CT, MRI, radiation therapy and conventional radiography. Students may also undergo practical training in one or more of the following: interventional radiography, paediatric radiography, nuclear medicine and mammography.

Most of the institutions that make up the external practical training arenas for this programme are located in Oslo and Eastern Norway. The students must therefore expect to commute during one or more of their periods of practical training. Students are assigned to diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy units. It is emphasised that the students should become familiar with the profession early on and that they will have practical training in all three years of the programme.

Students must comply with the clothing regulations in force at the practical training establishment. Special requirements for tests or vaccination may apply at individual establishments.

The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.

Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJM1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, or corresponding qualifications.

The work and teaching methods include self-study, interprofessional cooperative learning and external practical training. Students will complete ten weeks of supervised practical training in diagnostic imaging departments and two weeks of practical training in radiotherapy departments.

One week of practical training corresponds to 40 hours of study effort. There are 7 self study days that must distributed over this period. The study days are chosen in collaboration with the supervisor.

The following must have been approved in order for the student to receive an assessment: 

• a minimum of 90 % attendance in practical training
• individual reflection note in accordance with set criteria, to be submitted before the final assessment

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

• 5-day laboratory course with 5 written assignments (two individual and three in groups of 2-4 students, 10-20 pages per assignment)
• Some exercise sessions related to the laboratory course will be compulsory. These sessions will be announced separately.

Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of written. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.

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

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJTF2311 and KJTF2310.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
