CHEM 87.01 Undergraduate Investigation in Chemistry
An original and individual investigation with associated literature study in one of the fields of chemistry under the supervision of a member of the faculty or staff. The course may be elected once more (Chem 87.02), but only Chem 87.01 may be counted in satisfying the minimum major requirements. It may be elected for the last term in residence only if the student has already been actively involved in the research project. Students electing the course but who do not continue in Chem 87.02 will write a report and take an oral examination at the end of the term, and receive a final grade. Students who continue in Chem 87.02 will receive a grade of “ON” (ongoing).
