Abstract

Traditional methods of teaching structural elucidation for NMR spectrometry have mimicked spectroscopists' use of peak shift tables and coupling constants. The approach described in this article includes NMR spectral simulation and so parallels developments in the way spectroscopists now solve problems. Additionally, the way in which the workshops are scheduled, along with the close proximity of the students, allows the lecturer to engineer effective collaborative learning. Student evaluation revealed the sessions to be enjoyable and useful for gaining structure-elucidation, computer, and communication skills.
