Course Description:
Credit Hours
(hrs/week)
• Statistical analysis of chemical results. (hour/week

General Goal:
The course aims at training the student in the fieldwork by taking samples then analyzing
them in the lab using all the methods he has studied before in previous courses and in
particular advanced instruments then, write reports about these experiments in the form of a
small research project and discuss it.

Behavioral Objectives:
The study of this course enables the student to:
• Learn the methods of research in the chemical literature (literature surveys). • Learn the methods of sampling and sample preparation. • Learn how to write a scientific report. • Design chemical experiments. • Writing laboratory reports. • Statistical analysis of chemical results. • Christian G.D., 1994.
