This small liberal arts college for women with a strong tradition of training women in the sciences is reintroducing a course in Inorganic Chemistry and requiring it for the Chemistry major. The course, as it is being offered, is open to students of sophomore standing or higher. The instruments necessary for an undergraduate course in Inorganic Chemistry, a fast-scan UV/Vis Spectrophotometer, an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, and a Magnetic Susceptibility Balance, were chosen due to the ease of obtaining and interpreting data, and the ability of these instruments to examine both gross physical properties and molecular and atomic properties. The experiments being performed with these instruments reinforce or substantiate the concepts introduced in the classroom, rather than simply giving the student "experience" doing a particular manipulation or using the particular instrument. For most experiments the students are working independently in obtaining certain data, but then, as a class, share and evaluate the data in discovering and developing patterns. By allowing sophomores to take this course they are hoping to give more students the opportunity to pursue advanced studies in inorganic chemistry. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.

这所小型女子文理学院有着培养女性科学人才的悠久传统，正在重新开设无机化学课程，并要求化学专业开设这门课程。这门课程，因为它是提供，是开放给大二站或更高的学生。在无机化学，快速扫描紫外/维斯分光光度计，原子吸收光谱仪，和磁化率平衡的本科课程所需的仪器，选择由于容易获得和解释数据，以及这些仪器的能力，以检查两个总的物理性质和分子和原子的性质。用这些仪器进行的实验加强或证实了课堂上介绍的概念，而不是简单地让学生“体验”做特定的操作或使用特定的仪器。对于大多数实验，学生们独立工作以获得某些数据，但随后，作为一个班级，在发现和开发模式时共享和评估数据。他们希望通过允许学生修读这门课程，让更多的学生有机会在无机化学领域深造。受赠人正在匹配来自非联邦来源的奖励。
