- Active Learning in Advanced Analytical Chemistry, a Course for First Year Graduate Students author: Alexander Scheeline – An active learning approach to the first-semester analytical course for entering graduate students is described. This involves teaching students to read and understand the literature by having them lecture on topics that they
- Team Teaching a Mass Spectrometry Course: an Industry-University Collaboration authors: Jeffrey R. Gilbert and Anne M. Wilson-An advanced mass spectrometry course for upper-level chemistry students is described. This course was a team-teaching collaboration between a full-time faculty member and a full- time industrial chemist.
s discussion will focus on understanding tactics for carrier gas conservation, including what hardware and strategies are available for conservation. Alternative carrier gas options will be explored, as well as how the transition to an alternative carrier gas will affect your analysis and chromatography.
