First class:
Fall tutorials start the week of Sept. 9, 2019. Please read pages C1-12 in the tutorial information (appendix C) prior to your first tutorial and come to class prepared to do the first lab exercise. You will need to bring your lecture manual, a pencil, a calculator, and watch the T1 video (yellow box above). Safety glasses and labcoats are needed. No laboratory notebook is required.
You must be registered in the lecture portion of the course (Chem 213 A01) and a tutorial section (Chem 213 T_ _ ) in order to earn credit in the tutorials. Those students hoping to use the credit of a previous tutorial mark to repeat the course must email Kelli Fawkes before the last day to add a class in the semester.
Tutorial schedules: Please click your section schedule (above) for a detailed schedule of times and locations. Note: the laboratory sessions are not exclusively in your regular tutorial room; each class will spend 2 hours in a laboratory and the initial location of the 4 hour session is shown on the section schedule.
Student evaluation:
The tutorial component of the course is worth 25% of the total grade.
Students are required to attain passing grades in both the tutorial and lecture portions of the course. The pass mark in the tutorial is 50% and at least 70% of the tutorial material (based on marks allocated) must be completed and graded.
Suggestions:
This tutorial format is constantly changing based on feedback from students. The material presented in the manual and tutorials is prepared by me in consultation with the lecture instructor. Comments and suggestions are welcome at any time, just send me an email or come see me in Ell 334a.
Learning outcomes and goals of the tutorial:
Understand the instrumentation and sampling methods of common spectroscopy techniques.
The three laboratory-based tutorials are designed to let you experience first-hand what is involved in preparing and analysing UV-Vis, IR, and NMR samples. The specific sampling techniques, instrument design, limitations of the method and processing and presentation of the results are key. These tutorials will help to prepare you for future lab courses.
Practice interpreting spectra from a variety of sources.
Each classroom-based tutorial will focus on the interpretation of different spectra and is meant to show additional examples to those covered in class as well as to introduce more complicated problems which require more time and discussion to interpret fully. This will help to further your understanding of the topics and practice problem-solving in an environment with lots of support.
Develop and extend the problem-solving skills introduced in the lecture.
The tutorial manual deliberately contains introductory material only. This is to encourage you to work through the material as a group with your tutorial instructor and fellow students in the tutorial session. This will prepare you to tackle more complex problems on your own as you work through the old exams on the course website in preparation for the midterms and final exam.
