Honors Research

An independent research project supervised by a professor chosen by student. Early in semester a thesis proposal is written, approved by a thesis committee and submitted to the Commonwealth College Office. About 3-4 hours of lab per week per credit. Continued as 499T subsequent semester. Prerequisites: faculty sponsor approval and 3.2 average.

Honors Thesis

Continuation of CHEM 499Y in which experimental part of course is completed, thesis is written, oral presentation of the work given to the Thesis Committee, and accepted thesis presented to the Commonwealth College Office. Prerequisite: CHEM 499Y.

Independent Study

For fourth year students. Does not satisfy the B.S. independent research project requirement. Experimental or theoretical study that may involve lab or library work or a combination. Work supervised by faculty sponsor who determines direction of project, nature of reports required, and grade and credit awarded. 3-4 hrs lab work per week per 1 unit is expected. This course cannot substitute for CHEM 388 or CHEM 499Y/T.

Physical Chem

Introduction to the laws controlling equilibrium and kinetic properties of macroscopic chemical systems, using thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Prerequisites: CHEM 475

Biochemistry for Chemists

Introduction to the macromolecules and networks of reactions of living cells, with emphasis on underlying chemical principles. Topics include structure of proteins and nucleic acids, mechanisms of enzyme catalysis, metabloic reaction networks, transfer of genetic information, and recombinant DNA technology.
