Subject Description and Generic Skills |
|
Upon completion of 610-211 students should have an appreciation for the rates and mechanisms of enzyme catalysed reactions and environmentally significant atmospheric processes; understand the concepts of entropy and free energy and their application to chemical and biological systems; understand the interactions between molecules and light and its use in the determination of molecular structure; and understand modern views of molecular structure and the interaction of light with matter and its chemical consequences. The subject covers the topics the dynamics of molecular processes; energy transformation and storage in chemical and biological systems; the interaction between molecules and light and its relationship to molecular structure; and molecular structure and the harnessing of energy by absorption of light. This subject will provide the student with the opportunity to establish/ develop the following generic skills: problem solving and critical thinking skills, the ability to use conceptual models to rationalize observations, an understanding of the changing knowledge base. QOT Survey - Student feedback
