Abstract
In the fall of 1997 the University of Nebraska-Lincoln initiated an elective chemistry education course designed to prepare chemistry graduate students for future academic positions. Students enrolled in the course were from the analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical divisions of the chemistry department. Topics covered in the class included the nature of science research and teaching, lecturing techniques, design of new curricula, laboratories, and examinations along with the fundamentals of grant writing and other current education topics. Student progress was evaluated by the completion of a series of chemical education projects as well as practice-teaching assignments. Participant feedback and formal course evaluation were highly positive at the completion of the course.
