Final Exam

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Final Exam
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. integrate the knowledge acquired during all the degree courses (attainment level 1, 2, 4) 2. select appropriate concepts to explain a chemical phenomenon or to develop an answer to a complex problem independently (attainment level 2, 5) 3. formulate thoughts in a clear and concise way (attainment level 5) 4. engage in a scientific discussion, solve scientific problems, and argue why a certain solution is correct (attainment level 6)
Omschrijving	The student will revise (self-study) a focus area broadly related to the topic of their Master’s research project and ensure that they have a solid background and knowledge of the basic principles covered during the degree. The student will demonstrate this during an oral examination of 50 minutes to a board consisting of three examiners. Guidelines: • The exam can cover material from any of the courses that the student followed during the Master’s degree, with a focus on the courses taken within the Specialisation and on the area of the research project. • The first examiner will define a suitable focus area (typically a number of chapters from one of the leading textbooks) that is related to the student’s research project. • The examiners should formulate rather challenging problems and test not only the material covered in the chapters related to the focus area but also the underlying concepts. The main aim is to make sure that the student leaves the university with a sufficient level of background knowledge and understanding. • The exam can be planned in any period of the academic year (between September and June).

Opmerkingen	This course unit should be taken at the end of the MSc Chemistry programme and is designed to make sure that the student leaves the university with a sufficient level of background knowledge and understanding. The students need to obtain a final score of 5.5 or more according to the marking scheme above. If the final mark is 5.5, this will be rounded up to 6.0, which is the pass mark. The course unit assumes prior knowledge acquired from all the core modules of MSc Chemistry, in particular the Research Project.
