|
Checklist of items
- Location and time of Lectures and demonstrations: Thursday 7th October (09:00-10:00 and again at 14.00-14.45) in the Pippard, and then Friday 8th October (14.00-15.00), and Friday 15th October (10.00-11.00 and again 12.00-13.00) all in Pippard Theatre.
- Relevance of this course: As of October, 2010, there were:
- 55,474,701 organic and inorganic molecules and substances
- and 62,115,210 biological sequences,
- undertaking 40,036,030 described reactions, and
- for which there are >2 billion reported experimental properties
- described in >1 million scientific articles, 250,000 patents and 4500 books being published each year
- across 10,000 chemistry journals and databases
- Learning how to find the needle-in-the-haystack is an essential for any chemist!
- Login-IDs: You will require your local id, i.e. the one you use for e-mail and which you have just been issued with. Please ensure that you have this id and its password available for laboratory sessions.
- Presentation of Course: A set of Web Wiki pages linking access to chemical information sources. Some of these sources require pre-installed programs on the computer you are using, and a suitably configured Web Browser: we suggest using FireFox (on all platforms), one or two facilities may cause problems with Internet Explorer 8.0 (Windows only).
- Structure of the Course:
IT Relevant to Lecture Courses, Tutorials and Set Projects | IT Relevant to Laboratories and Reports |
- Lab Slots: You will be allocated one of four groups (
Groups A1, A2, B1, B2
). Labs take place on Monday and Thursdays , with two 3hr sessions per student.
- Group A1 has a lab in room 135 on Thursday 14 Oct, 4th Nov., 14.00-17.00.
- Group B1 has a lab in room 135 on Monday 11 Oct and 1 Nov., 14.00-17.00
- Group A2 has a lab in room 135 on Thursday 21 Oct, 18 Nov ., 14.00-17.00
- Group B2 has a lab in room 135 on Monday 18 Oct, 15 Nov., 14.00-17.00
- Please feel free to use either the Computer room OR the study area on level 2 outside of these hours. The latter area is NOT formally reserved and any student can use it at any time for this purpose if a computer is free. Students doing course and study work always have priority over students using the computers for non-chemistry related uses. Two demonstrators will be present during your three sessions.
- Lab coursework: You will be expected to work through the examples at your own pace; do not feel you have to complete everything in the scheduled sessions.
