A New Investigative Laboratory for Organic Chemistry Involving Polymer Synthesis and Characterization

9455681 Kharas该项目将开发一个模型综合有机实验室课程，这将使学生有机会发挥想象力和创造力，从而更好地理解科学研究的基础概念，并显示理论和实践有机化学之间的重要联系。我们将为三个季度的实验室课程的最后一个季度设计个人探索性研究项目，将教师的研究兴趣与学生的学习经验相结合。 车辆将个别有机和聚合物合成，结合联合收割机经典有机化学和聚合物化学。 我们还将继续努力改进和评估这门课程的价值，为课程的发展提供信息，并指导对学习成果的研究。

9455681 Kharas This project will develop a model comprehensive organic laboratory curriculum that will give students the opportunity to be imaginative and creative, lead to better understanding of the concepts that underlie scientific research, and show an important connection between theoretical and practical organic chemistry. We will design individual exploratory research projects for the last quarter of a three-quarter laboratory course that will integrate the instructor's research interests with learning experiences for the students. The vehicle will be individual organic and polymer syntheses that combine classic organic chemistry and polymer chemistry. We will also continue our efforts at improving and assessing the value of this curriculum in ways that inform the development of the course and guide research on the learning outcomes.
