CHEM 459W Advanced Experimental Physical Chemistry (4)

CHEM 459W Advanced Experimental Physical Chemistry is a project-based course designed as a follow-up to CHEM 457. CHEM 459W provides students with further experience in laboratory techniques used for quantitative experimentation and with the processing and interpretation of quantitative data. Experiments and short research projects are designed to complement the theoretical knowledge acquired in lecture courses so as to enhance students’ competence in problem solving in a research environment. Particular attention will be devoted to written communication of experimental results in an effective and concise manner according to American Chemical Society journal standards.
