Dr. Joseph Justice (Chemistry, Emory) and Anh Thi Pham (Graduate Student, Chemistry), are working together on Instrumental Analysis (CHEM 360). This class is being taught in the spring 2005 semester. Sample preparation, chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry will be just a few of the topics discussed in the course. Problem-based learning cases will be implemented into the course including cases on topics like athlete steroid use, drug addiction, toxins, cancer detection, and bioterrorism. The cases will help the student to learn critical issues, understand instrumental analysis, and interpret data. Critical thinking and problem sovling skills will be improved by the revisions to this course.
