Modules

Modules offered in Chem 590 cover topics that are generally dealt with at undergraduate level in insufficient detail to provide a good grounding at graduate level. Chem 590 is designed to fill in these gaps and provide a means by which grad students can bolster their background in particular areas of interest. The course is primarily designed for new graduate students (but senior grad students are also welcome to register). The modules offered will change from year to year, depending on the availability of faculty. In 2007/8, the modules will cover advanced topics in:

1. Structure-based inhibitor design (Fraser Hof)
2. Magnetism (Natia Frank)
3. Mass spectrometry (Scott McIndoe)
4. EPR spectroscopy (Robin Hicks)
5. Heteronuclear NMR (Lisa Rosenberg)
6. Metals in organic synthesis (David Berg)
7. X-ray crystallography (Penelope Codding)
8. Practical computer programming for chemists (Dennis Hore)

Check each of these pages to find out more about what, when and how each module will be taught. Because of the high level of delivery and low number of students, the teaching method may be considerably less conventional than a typical course, and modules may be delivered at unusual times or in large chunks. Keep an open mind! Modules may be withdrawn if insufficient interest is shown in a particular year.
