This course gives graduate students in the analytical chemistry stream practice speaking in front of a scientific audience and helps them to explore cutting-edge research topics in detail. MSc students are required to give one departmental seminar describing their research before the completion of their studies. PhD students are required to give two department seminars; typically this comprises one in the first or second year, and another close to the end of their PhD studies (Year 3 or 4). Student seminars in this course will be supplemented by presentations from local and not-so-local experts on relevant topics in analytical chemistry. The Analytical Seminar Plus (ASP) program runs in tandem with CHM1190Y seminars. PhD students are required to complete a set number of these ASP points prior to taking their oral exams.
