In the Classroom
The Crystallization Clinic-A TA Orientation Exercise

SUNY at Stony Brook, Department of Chemistry, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3400

January 1999
Vol. 76 No. 1

Abstract
Our orientation exercise for TAs in the organic laboratories is a Crystallization Clinic, and the main feature is a contest. Each TA has a different unknown solid to recrystallize. The products are judged by the students in the organic lab courses. Beauty of the crystals is the single criterion. The contest serves to refresh the TAs' technique and to give them empathy with the beginning students.
