Individual independent study and research under supervision of a member of the Chemistry faculty. Open to sophomore chemistry and biochemistry majors, others with permission of the department. The student is expected to gain an introduction to research through participating in limited independent research (3-4 hours/week) and participating in group research activities. Students enrolled in this course will also meet as a group with the Undergraduate Research Program Director for one hour per week. A group presentation is required, the content of which is to be determined in consultation with the Research Mentor. A final written report will be submitted to the faculty member, who will forward a copy to the Department’s Undergraduate Research Coordinator. Students are responsible for arranging their program and submitting reports with lead-time sufficient that registration and grading can be accomplished normally. Note: For further information and details, contact the Undergraduate Research Coordinator. This course does not fulfill an advanced Chemistry course for the Chemistry B.A. or B.S. degree. This course is repeatable for credit.
