This course will challenge you to interrogate, refine, & articulate your own values & beliefs as they apply to a professional life in the sciences in general & chemistry in particular. Well start with some straightforwardly unethical scenarios to build a framework of analysis. This will allow us to dive into both historical & current ethical issues in Chemistry (broadly defined) to broaden your perspectives and engage multiple points of view.

Focuses on the development of skills in methods of preparation, purification and identification of organic compounds.
