Frontiers of Crystallography: A Project-Based Research-Led Learning Exercise
Wilson, Chick C.; Parkin, Andrew; Thomas, Lynne H.
Journal of Chemical Education, v89 n1 p34-37 Jan 2012
A highly interactive research-led learning session for chemistry undergraduates is described, which aims to lead students to an awareness of the applications of crystallography technique through a mentored hands-on crystal structure solution and refinement session. The research-based environment is inherent throughout the 4.5 h program and is emphasized by several features in the learning experience. (Contains 1 figure.)
