Abstract
An interdisciplinary, two-credit, one-semester laboratory course required of second-year chemistry and biochemistry majors at a small, rural, undergraduate liberal arts institution is described. During the first half of the course students are provided instruction in chemical information resources, scientific communication, advanced techniques, instrumentation, and computational methods in preparation for authentic scholarly research with a faculty mentor in the second half of the course. Research is then carried out in small groups over the course of seven weeks and results are presented in both oral and written form. Anecdotal and quantitative data demonstrating the course's success over its eight-year duration are presented.
Supplement
Course syllabus; Guidelines for the research proposal, mystery reaction report, project report, and poster presentation
