Lecture Text: no formal textbook; some handouts
Your textbook in Analytical Chemistry is a helpful reading.
Midterm quiz (2): 10 problems to be solved as a take home quiz.
Final: The final exam/report will be prepared in a form of PowerPoint
presentation based on material from your research project. This report need to
be prepared by mid-April
Homework(2) Literature searches will be assigned and
collected, mostly for time-consuming experiments or techniques we cannot study
experimentally at Buffalo State.
Experiments (2-3) will be performed to improve your knowledge of various
techniques used in Analytical Toxicology. The particular experiments to be done
and the schedule will be given by the instructor in the laboratory. Laboratory
notebooks (2%) are required. Reports should be in a format similar to that used
CHE403 course. Please turn in reports as soon as possible after completing an
experiment. You may find deadlines for lab reports in the laboratory schedule
page.
Research project is the main part of the class. You will work on it as a part
of a small group (or even alone, if you prefer) for 4-7 weeks using various
analytical techniques.
The lecture part of the grade will be computed based on 5% for the each
mid-term quiz, 5 % for each homework, 5% for
each lab, and 60% for the final project plus 5-10% for the presentation of that
project.
