CHEM 491: Research in Chemistry (Fa18 - Sp24)
An original experimental or theoretical investigation to be conducted under the supervision of a chemistry or forensic chemistry faculty member. Projects may span multiple semesters, and students may repeat the course for credit provided a different topic description is specified for each semester. A student should expect to complete a formal written report and/or presentation.
Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
