Colsoul Barbara (coordinator) | Colsoul Barbara | Szekér Kathelijne (cooperator) Aims
Learning outcomes and development goals:
K2L Have a basic scientific-disciplinary knowledge and understanding in one of the areas based on the chosen specialization
I1L Problem analysis and solving
P1L Operationalising
G1L Acquiring and processing information
G3L Critical reflection
G5L Professional conduct
Objectives:
In general, the laboratories aim to support the lectures with practical applications. In doing so, they try to address the various aspects in a balanced way.
The student knows the basic concepts of physical chemistry and analytical chemistry. (K2L).
The student is able to be creative with the basic knowledge from the college courses and can use this knowledge during the laboratories (I1L).
The student is able to look up data in professional literature, tables and product sheets to use in calculations (G1L).
The student is able to interpret experimental data and process them in a report and formulate appropriate conclusions (G3L).
The student can select and execute the appropriate analytical method and can handle the necessary measuring equipment (P1L).
The student can work responsibly and independently in the lab (G5L).

Second termColsoul Barbara | Szekér Kathelijne (cooperator) Content
The aim of the laboratories is to support the lectures on Physical Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry from practical applications. In doing so, an attempt is made to ensure that the following aspects are dealt with in a balanced way, for example, determination of equilibria, mass transfer, titrations and buffers, kinetics of reactions and electrochemistry…
Course material
The study material is provided according to the organisation of the campus
Evaluation
Evaluation: Chemical Lab Techniques (B-KUL-T72179)
Explanation
1. Calculation of the final mark
This course contains only one published component mark. Consequently, this component mark is the final mark.
2. Calculation of the published component marks
Access to the lab is only granted to students who have achieved a minimum score on all safety tests. More information on Toledo.
The lab is assessed through continuous evaluation and critical reporting is expected.
The laboratories are assessed and evaluated based on 3 following criteria:
Laboratory preparation
- Does the student have sufficient knowledge of the objectives of the laboratory?
- Have the theoretical foundations of the laboratory been studied?
- Can the student estimate the expected results?
Execution of the lab
- Does the student have sufficient critical attitude during the execution?
- Is the work done accurately and with care?
Reporting
- To what extent is there a contribution of the whole team (if the work is done in a team)?
- Are the results clearly presented?
- Are the results critically evaluated?
3. Absences
Unauthorized absence during two or more lab sessions leads to NA as a final mark. Unauthorized absence during 1 lab sessions leads to 0/20 for that session.
For absences during the teaching weeks, please contact the education ombuds on the first day of your absence. If you missed one or more obligatory sessions, please contact your professor as soon as possible and certainly within a week.
4. Partial transfers and re-examinations
This course contains only one published component mark, partial transfers do not apply.
There is no second examination opportunity for Chemical Lab Techniques.
If the university decides that it is faced with situations of general force majeure or situations in which the safety and health of members of the academic community of KU Leuven may be endangered and changes are made to the teaching and evaluation activities as a result, these changes will be communicated via Toledo.
Information about retaking exams
No 2nd examination opportunity.
The intended goals of the course cannot be evaluated on a resit exam.
