B. Objectives

1. What is the main purpose for this course?

• Strength the knowledge of students in the theoretical basis of each spectroscopic technique (IR, UV, MS and NMR)

• Enables the students to use modern spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS) for identification of mainly organic and biological compounds.

• Teaches the student what specific information can be obtained by each technique. 2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (e.g. increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in the field)

• Tutorial, reading assignments and relevant research papers using university online library will be considered to enrich the scope of the course.

• The course material will be posted on the Website that could be accessed by the students enrolled in the course.

• Utilizing various internet resources that offer informative details to support the lecture course material will be encouraged.

C. Course Description (Note: General description in the form used in Bulletin or handbook)

Course Description: This course should equip the students with basic strategies and techniques for the identification of unknown structure of organic compounds from its spectroscopic data [infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectroscopy (MS)]

• Molecular models.

G Course Evaluation and Improvement Processes 1 Strategies for Obtaining Student Feedback on Effectiveness of Teaching

• Course feedback by a predesigned questionnaire by the E-TU site (compulsory) 2 Other Strategies for Evaluation of Teaching by the Instructor or by the Department

• A statistical regular review and analysis of the students’ achievement in the department.

• Prepare a questionnaire which should be filled by the students at the early stage of the course in order to define the weakness and strength in delivering the subjects.

3 Processes for Improvement of Teaching

• The administration commits to provide both the necessary resources to initiate and sustain the program and appropriate incentives for faculty members to participate.

• The faculty members are encouraged to attend workshops related to teaching and learning

4. Processes for Verifying Standards of Student Achievement (e.g. check marking by an independent member teaching staff of a sample of student work, periodic exchange and remarking of tests or a sample of assignments with staff at another institution)

• Check marking of the answer sheets of the final exam by other staff • Check progress level of the students (this can be done by an independent teacher by

reviewing students’ records and comparing the students’ work with another from a different institute).

5 Describe the planning arrangements for periodically reviewing course effectiveness and planning for improvement. Reviewing:

• Review and analyze collective student performance in the course. • Comparison between boys and girls (students) performance. • Obtain feedback from both students and instructors involved in the course. • Comparison between the performances of students in the current course with the

students who took the course in the past two years.

Planning for improvement:

• Update of course contents to meet the current students' educational needs. • Use of e learning facilities to enhance student abilities to learn and improve.
