Development of Teaching and Management Competencies

2000

 

Teaching Day (Pædagogisk Dag)

Autumn 2000/-Jan 2001

New examination practice for the elective course A-313, Choice and Validation of the Analytical Method Advanced Analytical Chemistry .

The examination was split into two parts, one traditional (3 hours) to gauge the students level of at-hand information (multiple choice) and ability to handle a calibration and an essay-problem where an article conderning a comparison and validation of an analytical method was posed to the students the last class before examination. The examination which took place ca. three weeks later.

  • To obtain a better learning process

  • To obtain better answer

The examination was discussed afterwards with some of the students. Based on this, and on the results of the written answers to the examination, it was deemed, that the experiment was a success. In terms of evaluation of the students, minor adjustments are necessary, such as a higher weight factor for the multiple choice part of the exam.

2005-2006


Codeveloper of the new "cand. scient. i produktionsudvikling/MSc in production development - process analytical technology", in a consortium with The Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen (http://www.kvl.dk), The Danish Technical University (http://www.life.ku.dk), and TheFaculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Copenhagen (http://www.www.farma.ku.dk).


Codeveloper of the introductory course and the production course for the Production development master

2007


Completed course in supervision of PhD-students (Diploma (PDF))

2008-2009


Development of Lab-course in Quantitative Analytical Chemistry.


General. Lifted the course from Ph. Eur 4th ed. to Ph. Eur. 6th ed.


Part of chloride determination changed from colorimetric to potentiometric end point determination and use of Dibutyl phthalate eliminated


Complexometric Titration changed, inteference check of influence from MgO excipient improved (uncertainty og weighing the necessary amount of MgO to large, changed substance to MgSO4,7H2O)


Developed better weighing containers for Karl Fischer titration, reducing weighing and sample application uncertainties.


Non aqueous titration: hanged from colorimetric to potentiometric end point determination.


Illustrated instructions for pipetting (Peleus balls) and spectrophotometry developed.


Peleus Balls changed to Pipetting aids macro (See e.g. Carl Roth) for better ergonomics and ease of use, improving repeatability of pipetting operations.


Other. New autoburettes for non-aqueous titration, new spectrophotometers for spectrophotometric determination of Cu (aq).

2009


Completed course in reasearch group management (arranged by the Faculty of Natural Sciences, university of Copenhagen and IMPLEMENT (www.implement.eu)

Participated in symposium on leadership in education institutions: Control vs. Creativity” arranged by Dansk Magisterforening, Section for Research and education.
