Improving the Chemistry Curriculum: Experiments in Gas Chromatography

化学系正在购买气相色谱仪，供学生在有机化学实验室、普通化学实验室和其他化学课程中使用。除其他仪器外，气相色谱仪的使用有助于学生学习设计实验，使用仪器分析方法，以及学习评价实验结果。这些技能将为学生进行本科、研究生或工业研究做好准备。学生在有机实验课程中使用该仪器设计实验路径，并合作对实验结果进行自我评估和同行评估。

This Department of Chemistry is purchasing a gas chromatograph for use by students in the organic chemistry laboratory, general chemistry laboratory, and other courses in the chemistry curriculum. Use of the gas chromatograph, in addition to other instruments, aids students in learning to design experiments, in utilizing instrumental methods of analysis, and in learning to evaluate experimental results. These skills will prepare students to do undergraduate, graduate, or industrial research. Students use the instrument in organic laboratory courses in which they design experimental paths and cooperate in self-evaluation and peer evaluation of the experimental results.
