About the Course

The course introduces the three key spectroscopic methods used by chemists and biochemists to analyse the molecular and electronic structure of atoms and molecules. These are UV/Visible , Infra-red (IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The content is presented using short focussed and interactive screencast presentations accompanied by formative quizzes to probe understanding of the key concepts presented. Numerous exercises are provided to facilitate mastery of each topic. A unique virtual spectroscopic laboratory is made available to enable students to measure and analyse spectra online. Assessment is via summative quizzes completed during the course period....

Es un buen curso para quienes amamos las espectroscopia, la información es acertada, especifica y las herramientas que entregan, en terminos de conocimiento, mejoran el aprendizaje. Si, recomiendo que los capítulos por vídeo, mejoraran su dinámica y la fluidez del profesor igualmente.
