CHM 490 - Independent Study in Chemical Research
Description
Students collaborate with a faculty member for two consecutive semesters to address an open-ended chemical research project, developing crucial professional and intellectual skills. Students read and analyze the relevant chemical literature, and in collaboration with the faculty advisor devise a series of experiments to address the research question. Students carry out necessary experiments by learning the research techniques appropriate to the work. Finally, students interpret and represent data to address the original question and convey their results through oral presentations and written reports. Interested students should discuss potential projects with chemistry faculty members. One course credit earned each semester. Permission of instructor and chairperson required. A student may only use one credit earned from CHM 390 or CHM 490 to satisfy a major requirement.
