If so, then this workshop is for you. Materials chemistry is a wide-ranging subject that can include as many aspects of other sciences as you or your department demands. We will look at the issues and opportunities specific to teaching such interdiciplinary courses. We will discuss teaching and assessment methods as well as looking at labs and group work.
The workshop will be facilitated by Dr Stephen Skinner, the Centre's Thematic Group leader for Materials Chemistry and Dr Caroline Baillie from the Centre. The event will be interactive and conducted largely through group discussion. An important aspect will be the discussion of samples and ideas brought by the delegates.
