Exercises description

Exercices and tutorial problems are given to illustrate different analytical methods, mainly applied to assay of active ingredients and drugs. They are given in parallel to the theoretical course.


Prerequisites

Structure moléculaire et propriétés [MPHAB286]

Teaching methods

Slides, blackboard and multimedia projection are used during the theoretical course, which is illustrated by a few numerical examples. Tutorial sessions are devoted to solving and explaining exercises and problems from the various chapters of the course. Simulations of spectra will be carried out during practical sessions.

Evaluations

The examination is written. It will consist of theory and exercise questions. The exact modalities of the assessment are subject to change when the examination timetable is being drawn up, depending on practical constraints that the faculty administration may face, or in case of illness/force majeure/emergency, or because of the health situation related to the coronavirus.

Recommended readings
