Abstract

A research-focused approach is described for a nonlaboratory-based graduate-level module on analytical chemistry. The approach utilizes commonly practiced activities carried out in active research laboratories, in particular, activities involving logging of ideas and thoughts, journal clubs, proposal writing, classroom participation and discussions, and laboratory tours. This approach was adapted without compromising the course content and results suggest possible adaptation and implementation in other graduate-level courses.
