CHEM 104b - Technique Kits

Individual Research Projects

The techniques you have used this semester are listed below. If you request one of these techniques in your proposal to your TA, certain reagents and equipment will automatically be set up in your lab. This is what we call the technique "kit." Please check your technique and the corresponding "kit" items. If you require something other than those items, you must include it in your proposal.

General Information

This page explains:

  • Considerations For Your Initial Request
  • Chemical Waste Disposal Procedures
     

Individual research projects occur toward the end of the semester and ask students to draw on what they have learned in order to solve a problem. To make this a good learning experience, it is important that the Preproom, instructors, and students work together and communicate openly about what is needed for each experiment.
