Improvement of Undergraduate Instruction in Chemistry through NMR

桑福德大学化学系最近购置了一台核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪，提高了光谱学教学理念的有效性。通过获取不同类型化合物的核磁共振信息，并将这些数据与核磁共振理论和其他光谱信息相关联，学生将学习核磁共振原理和核磁共振在化学结构中的应用。这就产生了分子的合成“图”，并教导学生如何研究化学结构。该仪器仅供化学专业的本科生和未成年人在一些化学课程中使用，在这些课程中，精心策划的一组实验以学生已经学过的知识为基础，以逻辑顺序教授技术的各个方面。该设备补充了现有的仪器设备，并为该部门提供了一个更完整的分析工具库，通过它来教授光谱方法。

The effectiveness of teaching concepts of spectroscopy has been improved by the Chemistry Department at Samford University through the recent acquisition of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. Students are learning NMR principles and applications of magnetic resonance to chemical structure, first hand, by obtaining NMR information on different types of compounds and correlating this data with NMR theory as well as other spectroscopic information. This results in a composite "picture" of the molecule, and teaches students how chemical structure can be investigated. The instrument is used exclusively by undergraduate chemistry majors and minors in a number of chemistry courses in which a carefully planned group of experiments teach various aspects of the technique in a logical sequence that builds on what students have already learned. This equipment complements existing instrumental holdings and gives the department a more complete arsenal of analytical tools through which to teach spectroscopic methods.
