CHEM 500 Seminar in Chemistry (1)

CHEM 500 is a course in which 1st and 2nd year Chemistry graduate students write about and present a seminar on current chemical research. During their first year of graduate study students are asked to write 6 or more brief reports summarizing and critiquing designated seminars in one of the department's five regular seminar series. These reports are graded for both their scientific content and writing quality. During their second year of graduate study students are asked to write a more lengthy report and give an oral presentation on a topic of current interest in chemistry, but one not closely related to research being done at Penn State. The written and oral portions of this exercise are also graded.
