Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

This course is taught in English, as part of the Amis and FAME+ Masters.
Since this course is an optional course taught to a usually small number of students, there is some latitude in defining its content, for example by taking into account topics of interest for the future master thesis, etc.
The course usually consists in the analysis and discussion of experimental papers from the recent literature, reporting on the synthesis of inorganic materials. Because of the different backgrounds of students, the course usually starts with a few more conventional lectures. 

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the course, the students will be able

  • to discuss and propose experimental procedures for synthesis of inorganic materials by common methods
  • to use their background knowledge to develop further knowledge by reading review papers

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

introductory courses in experimental inorganic and solid state chemistry

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

  • theoretical lectures
  • analysis of literature papers and/or textbook chapters

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

part face-to-face lectures and discussion, part work at home (required reading,...)
2020-2021: If required by the Covid situation, lecrures and discussion could take place through visioconference
 

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
