Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
In-depth coverage of a particular area of analytical chemistry. Example subject areas include separation science, mass spectrometry, optical spectroscopy, electrochemistry, or surface science. Occasionally the subject matter of this course will be a survey of recent advances in the field.
COURSE DETAILS:
This course offers an introduction of cutting-edge high-throughput quantitative analysis techniques, including proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, and imaging. The focus will be given to the working principles of these techniques and how have they driven the current innovations in chemistry, biology, medicine, environmental science, and beyond. The knowledge will be acquired through both in class lectures, lab demonstrations, and team projects. Guest lectures will be given by experts in the field.
4 lecture hours/week
Grading
- Assignments 10%
- Report (Subject Specific) 30%
- Presentation (Subject Specific) 30%
- Final Exam (Comprehensive) 30%
NOTES:
Undergraduate students enrolled in this course will be conducting similar presentations, reports, and examinations as graduate students, but the student’s performance at each assessment step will be evaluated at their appropriate standard. In addition, the term presentation and report for undergraduate students can focus on literature reviews instead of a proposal.
Materials
MATERIALS + SUPPLIES:
Course reading materials will be provided throughout the lecture (no labs).
Graduate Studies Notes:
Important dates and deadlines for graduate students are found here: http://www.sfu.ca/dean-gradstudies/current/important_dates/guidelines.html. The deadline to drop a course with a 100% refund is the end of week 2. The deadline to drop with no notation on your transcript is the end of week 3.
Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
