Identify and solve problems related to basic principles of chemistry. 2. Describe properties of atoms and apply mole concepts such as chemical reactions, solution chemistry, acid and base, electrochemistry and gaseous state. 3. Demonstrate the correct and proper way of handling chemicals and apparatus with the application of mole concepts theory during laboratory session 11 LEARNING OUTCOMES - AS THE GUIDING TARGET Degrees of Learning will be measured by the knowledge gain Measurement : Direct + Indirect i. Direct: All types of documented assessment for each course ii. Indirect: All types of tools selected to indicate learning like surveys, self rating item, third party observations etc. 12 HOW TO MANAGE YOUR ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES 1. Adhere to notional Student Learning Time (SLT) 2. Actively engage in all learning opportunities (Face to Face and Self‐Learning) 3. Be aware of academic requirements, rules and regulations 4. Be proactive in constructing knowledge from multiple sources (print media, online media, peers, lecturers, society, environment) 13 the agreed-upon value used to measure a student workload in terms of learning time required to complete course units, resulting in learning outcomes’ (UNESCO, 2004) CREDIT = Teaching Learning Activities Lecture Project Work Tutorial Presentation Laboratory Achievement of Learning Outcomes the measurement of students’ academic load Revision Work attachment Group Assignment Examination Demonstration Study Tour Case study Assignments E-Learning Studio work Clinical Group Discussion Field Work Research Project Industrial training Directed reading Student Learning Time (SLT) NOTIONAL SLT: 40 notional hours = 1 credit SOURCE: MQA 14 Student Band and Learning Time Total Student Time Per day Division of Student Time Examples Sleep Routine Activities Self improvement Activities Work Study least diligent = weak; diligent = average very diligent = good Least Diligent = 40 Self-keep Travel 24 Hours Hours per Week Diligent = 48 Very Diligent = 55 SOURCE: MQA 15 STUDENTS’ RESPONSIBILITY 1.
