Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The first part of the course is a detailed discussion of the mechanisms of polymer synthesis. The second part is devoted to their properties in solution and to their characterization methods.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims at being a synthesis of the main concepts of chemistry of polymers, of the main synthesis routes, as well as basic methods for their characterization.
Learning independence. Search for information. Acquisition of questioning mind. Time management. Development of analytical ability. Development of deductive skills. Development of collaborative work.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Good knowledge of organic chemistry
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Problem-based learning
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
10 sessions of 2h each. One introductory course followed by problem-based learning. 2 lab sessions to illustrate the main concepts of the course
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
The lab sessions can be canceled if too many assistants are COVID+ or in quarantine.
The assessment methods can be revised depending on the context of the COVID crisis.
The exams will be in presence if possible.
If in presence: written exams with open questions
If remotely: oral exam on Lifesize
The staff will keep you informed, via your ULiège email, of any modification
