Course contents :
|
| Course outline:
- Introduction
- Kinetics and Catalysis
- Types of catalysts and catalysis
- Enzymology
- After a discussion on the kinetics, catalysis and enzymology, the students will present the group project they will complete.
- Distance and face-to-face interactions between students and supervisors will prepare the work the students will carry out in the laboratory.
- The students will conduct a laboratory study of some parameters related to a bio- catalyzed or catalyzed reaction.
- After the labs, the students will write a critical report in English on the reaction they worked on.
- They will present a seminar in English to the class. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- To master the basic concepts of chemical kinetics and catalysis including enzymology
- To collect and synthesize the literature related to a specific topic of catalysis
- To set up protocols in order to study key parameters of a (bio) - catalyzed reaction
- To write a critical report in English considering different points of view on the studied (bio) - synthesis
- To present orally a summary of their work in English |
