Instruction is given on technical writing and a computer generated research paper is required.
Students may also be expected to draw structures of molecules or draw other illustrations. However, if a student has a verifiable excuse, arrangements can be made to make up the missed assignment. It is the students responsibility to make the instructor aware of anticipated absences. Students will meet with the instructor to review comments and suggestions for improving the final version of the paper. The final paper will be graded based on improvements made to the semifinal copy of the paper.
