Inorganic Chemistry in Science

Science is one of the premiere magazines for the publication of peer-reviewed chemistry.  With a high impact factor of 28.1 (2008) it (generally) attracts articles of exceptionally broad appeal and significance.  Your assignment is to find an original article published in Science in the past ~fifteen years (1995-).  You are to write a one-page summary of the article in your own words and summarize the article via a 15-minute in-class presentation.  Your presentation must be via PowerPoint/Keynote. 

Timeline

October 20th: Paper selection due (first-come, first-served)– send to me via email (riordan@udel.edu).  I will approve all selections.

November 24th: One-page summary due.  Submit as a pdf via email to riordan@udel.edu

December 1, 3, 7: In-class presentations.  I will assign the dates and order of student presentations.

 

The combined grade for your one-page summary and in-class presentation accounts for 20% of your semester grade.
