Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

 

The main strategy that will be adopted to development students’ skills in the organic chemistry.  The heart of organic synthesis is designing synthetic routes to a molecule. The simplest synthesis of a molecule is one in which the target molecule can be obtained by using a readily available starting material for a single reaction that converts it to the desired target molecule. However, in most cases the synthesis is not that straightforward. To convert a chosen starting material to the target molecule, numerous steps that add, change, or remove functional groups, and steps that build up the carbon atom framework of the target molecule may need to be done.

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the automatic rounding outlined above.
