This is a compulsory unit for the DTC students to undertake as part of the 6-month PACT course. This unit will comprise of a novel postgraduate Dynamic Laboratory Manual is that will enable students to carry out an interactive, virtual version of an essential, often complex, experimental technique before experiencing it in the laboratory. The simulations, together with online tutorials for self-learning, have built-in responses to common errors of technique, allowing students to learn from mistakes rapidly and effectively. This approach enables the students to gain a much deeper understanding of an experiment before they carry it out for real. By the end of the PACT course, students will have physically carried out aminimum of 4 pgDLM-supported ('real') experiments in the lab.
