CHEM 3410U – Chemistry Laboratory Techniques


This course involves carrying out research work in a chemistry research laboratory under the supervision of a faculty member. The course will provide hands-on laboratory research experience and exposure to a particular chemistry discipline (organic, bio-organic, materials, organometallic, physical and analytical chemistry). The student will participate in the formulation of the hypothesis and the experimental design used to corroborate the hypothesis, and write a comprehensive report at the end of the course. Students must have written approval of the prospective supervisor to enrol in the course. Enrolment in this course is generally restricted to students in the Chemistry Comprehensive, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Chemical Biology specializations, but students from other Faculty of Science programs can also apply. The expected learning outcome will be defined by the supervisor and included in the acceptance letter. Students may not enrol in Chem 3410U in the same semester as they are enrolled in CHEM 4410U  or CHEM 4420U . If the student is working in the capacity of a work-study student in the supervisor’s laboratory, the research project of the laboratory course cannot be related to the student’s work-study role.
