CLASS FORMAT
This course provides students with hands-on experience with chemical instrumentation, protocols and analytical chemistry (and QA) report writing. The course will also focus on preparing the student to conduct chemical research in various laboratory settings.
CxC: The scientific work is intimately related to the excellent communication skills. We received the formal recognition of this course as the Communication Intensive by the Communication across the Curriculum Program for writing and oral presentations. You will receive specific instructions related to those requirements.
