Instrumentation to Enhance Learning in the Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Laboratory

该项目的主要目标是向科蒂学院（一所两年制女子学院）的学生提供四年制学院学生通常可获得的研究经验。第二学期的有机化学实验将集中在一个研究项目，与整个类作为研究小组，和实验室导师作为研究主任。学生将被要求为小组项目的总体方向做出贡献。它的目的是在本学期的课程，学生将开发在自然科学的研究机制的更好的理解，每个学生将来到她自己的兴趣水平在科学研究的更大的实现。 将实施的实验室计划旨在使科蒂学院的化学学生以及其他初级学院和小型女子学院的学生受益。据信，该计划可以使任何部门，提供有机化学的一小部分（10至15）的学生，或一个大部门提供一个独立的有机化学实验室的化学专业。该计划不是为了满足大型，多部门有机化学实验室的需求。

The major objective of this project is to provide students at Cottey College, a two-year college for women, access to the type of research experience typically available to students at four-year institutions. Second-semester organic chemistry laboratory will focus on a research project, with the entire class acting as the research group, and the laboratory instructor acting as the research director. Students will be asked to contribute to the overall direction of a group project. It is intended that during the course of the semester, students will develop a greater understanding of the mechanism of research in the natural sciences, and that each student will come to a greater realization of her own level of interest in scientific research. The laboratory program that will be implemented is designed to benefit chemistry students at Cottey College, as well as students at other junior colleges and small women's colleges. It is believed that this program could benefit any department that offers organic chemistry to a small (10 to 15) number of students, or a large department offering an independent section of organic chemistry laboratory for its chemistry majors. This program is not designed to address the needs of large, multi-section organic chemistry laboratories.
