Introduction to Molecular Spectroscopy

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.

very helpful

very helpful,learnt new concepts Excellent rigorous course.

The exercises help to settle in the theory and the simulated spectra are very helpful to study and get familiar with them.

Very helpful in creating a clear-cut view regarding the marvelous world of molecular spectroscopy.

three main

It is a good introduction into the three main methods of spectroscopy, the material emphasizes the theoretical foundations, so take it if you want to make sure you understand what is going on.

There are three main units dealing with UV and visible-light spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, while the four week is comprised of the final exam.

spectroscopic techniques

This course helped me understand the spectroscopic concepts in a simpler and a more easier way,I found interesting will solving the practice problems and the quiz.This course is really helpful in analyzing the structure of the organic compounds using spectroscopic techniques like IR, UV and NMR spectroscopy.I would like to thank Mr.Patric sir for making the concepts easier and simpler.

This course gives comprehensive overview on various spectroscopic techniques providing a large deal of underlying theory and also technical details in laboratory work.

final exam

Also, there are a technical problem in week 3 and final exam in marking certain questions where the system marks it wring although it is right.

final quiz

Good practice on the basics Some of the answers were wrong in the week 3 quiz and I'm pretty sure I got more answers correct than were actually awarded marks in the final quiz.

I enjoyed doing the final quiz but again I'm quite puzzled by some of the answers given.
