Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Kou, Yangming; Peng, Xiayu; Dingwell, Claire E.; Reisbick, Spencer A.; Tonks, Ian A.; Sitek, Anna A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While lab accidents that involved personal injuries or significant property damage are required to be reported by law, many minor lab incidents or near misses are less frequently reported, especially in an academic research environment. However, public awareness of these stories and incidents create valuable learning opportunities and can prevent…

Ramm, Julia G.; Dorscheid, Gabryel L.; Passos, Camila. G.; Sirtori, Carla – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
The general objective of this study was to analyze the development and implementation process of a waste management project (WMP) at a public school in the city of Porto Alegre in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, that offers a course for chemistry technicians. To that end, an initial diagnostic analysis of the commonly produced waste from…

Undergraduate Research as Chemical Education--A Symposium: Factors Important to the Maintenance of Undergraduate Research Programs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pladziewicz, Jack R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1984
The involvement of undergraduate science majors in publishable research is a vital aspect of their education. The special problems confronted by faculty doing and directing such research are formidable. Several of these problems (such as heavy teaching loads) and ways of attacking them are described. (JN)

On-Line Data Bases in Chemistry Literature Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Drum, Carol A.; Pope, Nolan F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1979
Describes a program developed to expose college chemistry students to some of the more modern information retrieval tools, as computerized online databases. Following classroom lectures and discussions, students individually develop a search statement relevant to their own research needs and run it in the Chemical Abstracts files. (BT)
