CHEM2401/2911/2915

Course Design

We will be working through worksheets in groups in class. These worksheets are an integral part of the course and the lecture notes are deliberately brief. 
Questions about the course should be posted on the discussion board on eLearning, which we monitor regularly. Answers to questions sent by email will be posted there.
Past Exams

The syllabus of this unit changed considerably in 2010. All of the relevant pre-2010 exam questions have been used as 'end of lecture problems' and solutions are available below. Any pre-2010 exam question which has not been used is not relevant.
