Teaching Pattern

Methodology Since this is the first inorganic chemistry laboratory class for the students, the lecturer and the teaching assistants usually would offer assistance in setting up the apparatus during the first few laboratory sessions. The students are expected to develop the ability to carry out the experimental work with minimal instructions. Each student will be graded based on his/her laboratory reports plus his/her laboratory performance, which will be judged by the lecturer and the teaching assistants. Laboratory safety is always an important component in the laboratory class. A majority of the experiments involves synthesis of well-defined inorganic compounds, followed by studying their physical -- 1 of 2 -- and chemical properties using a variety of physical techniques. The students are expected to plan their work before attending the practical classes and review the physical principles and uncertainties underlying any physical measurements.
