KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I Course description

The students shall acquire basic knowledge of the use of quantitative methods in analytical chemistry. The course includes training in relevant analytical techniques and instrumentation methods for the recording and processing of measurement data. Handling of errors, uncertainty estimates and quality assurance in quantitative analytical chemistry will also be addressed. 

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

The following work requirements are mandatory and must be approved in order to prepare for the exam:

• A project outline that describes how the group will organise their work on the project.
• A standard learning agreement must be entered into between the project provider / supervisor and the student(s), and this must be approved by the course coordinator before the project can start.
• Three meeting minutes from supervisory meetings during the project period.
• An oral mid-term presentation, individual or in groups (max 5 students), 10 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A.

The deadlines for submitting the project outline and minutes of the meetings will be presented in the teaching plan, which is made available at the beginning of the semester.

Written project report (100% of the final grade).

A written project report delivered at the of the semester, individual or in groups (max 5 students), 4000 words +/-10 %.

For group projects, all members of the group receive the same grade. Under exceptional circumstances, individual grades can be assigned at the discretion of the project supervisor(s) and Head of Studies.

The exam result can be appealed.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Grade scale A-F. 

Two internal examiners. External examiners are used regularly.

The course builds on computer science courses from the first year of the programme.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

Per Ola Rønning

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.
