For third 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.

Used to satisfy the B.S. independent project requirement. A research project, which may consist of laboratory work or theoretical work or both. Project and research director selected by student with consent of instructor and departmental Undergraduate Research Coordinator required. About 8-10 hours of independent work per week, in close consultation with research director, culminating in written and oral reports. A copy of the written report must be included in the student's academic folder.

Chemical periodicity, reaction behavior and structural interrelationships within the framework of a systematic treatment of the main group and transition elements.

Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement. Develops written and oral communication skills. Emphasizes writing as a process. Covers letters, summaries, critiques, reports, articles, reviews, resumes, and proposals.

Weekly lecture by guest scientist working in chemistry or chemically related field (research, teaching, administration, product development, sales, etc.) to help students identify their own interests as related to chemistry. May include brief reports. The student learning objectives are to (1) Identify the research foci within the department and opportunities for undergraduate research; (2) Acquire skills to write a cover letter and resume; (3) Identify internships, labs, and research opportunities appropriate to their interests; (4) Identify array of career options for chemistry majors.
