CHEM 4820

A laboratory research course designed to review, unify, and augment the content of previous chemistry courses and to provide an introduction to chemical research. Students will abstract and adapt procedures from the chemical literature and apply them in a one-semester research project carried out under the supervision of a Faculty Member. Components in the evaluation include a written thesis and its oral presentation. Entry to this course is contingent upon the student finding a departmental faculty member willing to supervise the research and permission of the department. Twelve hours laboratory a week (minimum); Six semester hours of credit
