CHEM 2230 - Directed Research in Chemistry
Credits: 2
Students will learn advanced chemistry techniques and apply them to their own original research questions. Research topics will be chosen based on specific instructor expertise, and student interest will determine the exact direction of the research. Students will learn to perform literature searches and develop strong, testable hypotheses. They will learn to keep an organized lab notebook, design successful experiments, and analyze data. They will also learn to compile their results into a compelling presentation. Students will be expected to attend class for 2 hours per week as a group. Additional time in the lab will be available as needed throughout the semester. Additionally, students will be expected to spend 1-2 hours outside of meeting time working on literature review, data analysis, and presentation preparation.
Prerequisite(s) (must have a grade of C or better): A college-level chemistry course with lab is required. Students must meet with the instructor and get approval prior to registration.
Recommended Skills, Abilities, or Coursework: MATH 0240 with a grade of C or better, or the appropriate score on math placement test. College-level reading and writing as demonstrated by meeting enrollment requirements for ENGL 1121. Experience with spreadsheet and presentation software such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint is also beneficial.
