Course Name: ORGANIC SPECTROSCOPY

Course Code: SK32303

Course Synopsis: The course discusses various spectrometric methods used in the characterization of organic compounds which covers IR, NMR (1-D and 2-D), MS and UV-VIS. Emphasis is given to the understanding of the principles and rules in order to interpret spectra and to determine organic structures efficiently. The students are exposed to available databases (library and Internet resources) and Chewdraw (NMR) for comparison and determination of organic structures.

Course Learning Outcome:

1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles and techniques of various spectrometric methods

2. Determine data of model compounds from numerous correlation tables as well as related computer software

3. Interpret and deduce organic structures using spectra or a combination of various spectra

Brief description of presentation submitted: All the students need to discuss on the selected published paper related to organic spectroscopy. They need to ensure whether the selected paper use the selected spectroscopy correctly or not.

Course Name: PRACTICAL INORGANIC CHEMISTRY II

Course Code: SK22401

Course Synopsis: The course is important to the students in term of understanding the basic laboratory techniques and concepts of inorganic chemistry. This laboratory course is based upon practical experiments dealing with most of the topics discussed in SK22803 (Inorganic Chemistry I) including oxidation-reduction reaction of halogens, reactions of metals, analysis of cation mixture and the chemistry of chromium.

Brief description of presentation submitted: Lab demonstrator recorded practical experiments in the lab and the links will be given to the students through smartv3/emails for them to prepare lab report based on the recorded video and raw data given.

Course Name: BIOINFORMATICS

Course Code: SY32703

Course Synopsis: In this course, students will be introduced to theory and applications of bioinformatics with the use of operating systems, software , tools, online resources, databases and work flows to process large amount of data to produce meaningful biological result.

Course Name: OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Course Code: SC12203

Course Synopsis:

1. Perform writing of simple and more complex program using Java.

2. Produce program which meets object-oriented programming requirements and concept

Brief description of experiences / presentation submitted: I'm using Smartv3, google classroom and Screencastomatic software in my distance learning. All class notes and lecture videos are uploaded into LMS and I usually give short quiz after each lesson to check student's understanding. My lecture videos are recorded using Screencast-O-matic software and I will upload all the videos into my Youtube ums account before shared with the students.

I've also using an interactive ebook from Runestone Academy for lab programming and assignments where students can interact directly in the ebook and get instant feedback. This is really helping students doing their self directed learning on their own pace.
