The basic weekly NMR course will start 5th May 10am in the NMR facility. This course is targeted at people with little or no NMR experience. The goal is to develop a basic understanding for the most commonly used NMR experiments. It is useful for PhD students and/or post-docs who use NMR spectroscopy as a tool for their research as well as for scientists who don't use NMR for their research but who are interested in gaining a basic understanding of NMR. The course will follow very closely the printed version (second edition) of James Keelers book "Understanding NMR Spectroscopy". Page numbers indicating the topics covered in each lesson are given in the schedule below.
