Upper-Level Writing Requirement

All chemistry majors are required to complete two upper-level writing courses ("W" courses). At least one of these courses must be a chemistry department course selected from the list below. In each chemistry writing course students are required to submit a total of four writing requirement laboratory reports. Two types of reports are required in each course: one report is written so that a well-educated non-scientist is able to understand the content; the second report is written as a formal scientific presentation with appropriate literature references. The writing requirement may be satisfied in the following courses: CHM 210W, 231W, 232W, 234W, 393W. Students may use one writing course from another department for one of the two required writing courses.
