Course Objectives: | The aim of this course for each student is; The aim is to provide students with the skills to conduct evidence-based research, identify problems/deficiencies and seek solutions, conduct theoretical/computational/wet experiments in laboratories, evaluate and discuss data correctly, come to solutions and conclusions, and present results during their Chemistry education. |
Course Content: | Within the scope of this course, students will gain experimental/theoretical knowledge and experience about their projects in the field of Chemistry. During the course, students will gain the skills of literature review, problem solving skills, method learning and/or development, data acquisition, interpretation and sharing the results with their stakeholders in written and oral presentation. In this context, this course aims to identify the relevant problem or gap in the field of Chemistry in the literature, to seek a solution to the identified problem or gap, to identify methods/ways to reach the solution, to obtain experimental and/or theoretical data, to analyze data and to interpret these data by comparing them with the literature, to conclude. It covers the issues of reaching conclusions, discussing the results and presenting them in a national and/or international project format. Students taking this course are required to fulfill the research responsibilities expected of them. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) 1) Students will understand the logic of chemistry 2) 2) Students will be able to apply the subjects they have learned to different disciplines. 3) 3) Students will be ready to practice in a laboratory environment. 4) 4)Students will gain the discipline of taking responsibility and working as a team. 5) 5)Students will gain the discipline of taking responsibility and working as a team. |
