Advanced Analytical Chemistry

SEGAWA Hiroki
Course content
Instrumental analysis plays a central roles in current analytical chemistry. This class will provide the knowledge necessary for correctly interpreting instrumental measurement data.
Purpose of class
Accurate interpretation of instrumental measurement data is fundamental for informed decision making. For this purpose, understanding of statistics, the principles of instrumental analysis methods, and the evaluation method on experimental errors based on these knowledge is important. The purpose of this class is getting practical knowledge on these contents.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understanding how to interpret instrumental analysis data statistically, particularly how to perform hypothesis testing and error evaluation.
  2. Understanding the principles of instrumental analysis methods.
  3. Understanding how to evaluate the limit of the analytical methods students use in their research.

Evaluation method and criteria
The final grade will be determined by the cumulative score of assignments and reports, which are submitted periodically to assess understanding, with a maximum of 100 points. A minimum overall score of 60 points is required to pass the course.
Students can achieve up to 60% of the points by demonstrating understanding of the fundamental concepts presented in the lectures.
