Organic Chemistry Lab as a Research Experience
Thomas R. Ruttledge
Department of Chemistry, Earlham College, Richmond, IN 47374

December 1998
Vol. 75 No. 12
p. 1575
Abstract
A method was developed to introduce student creativity and ingenuity into a lab course and combines certain aspects of the multitasking approach, because it teaches time- and resource-management techniques, with giving students a real opportunity to design their own experiments. This approach was first attempted in an advanced organic course (spectroscopy) and later in our sophomore-level organic laboratory course. The results in both classes were very good indeed, with perhaps the most compelling results coming from the sophomore-level class.
