Experimental Chemistry

Four compulsory laboratory exercises explore the breadth of topics in chemistry. The compulsories include inorganic synthesis, physical characterization, spectroscopy, and computational chemistry. Incorporated into these experiments are analytical methods, quantitative methods, and instrumental methods. Students have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Proper lab technique and data management are also part of the learning experience. The once-per-week lecture component supplements the hands on experience in the lab. Grading considers pre-lab preparation, engagement, and lab technique as well as lab report submissions.
