== FAQs about CHEM-5181 ==

* '''Can I audit the class?'''
** Answer: Yes, but you need to register for it as "Audit / No Credit", either as a regular CU student or through the [http://conted.colorado.edu/programs/access/ ACCESS Program]. Auditors typically attend lectures but do not do the labs, homeworks, or exams, unless they want to.
** Note that postdocs and researchers at CU can register for free using the Staff Tuition Benefit, see more details [http://www.alumniconnections.com/links/link.cgi?l=5070036&h=10104&e=UCBI-20131029125211 here] and [http://www.cu.edu/employee-services/tuition-waiver-benefit-boulder-campus here]. They need to apply for the tuition benefit at least 2 weeks before the start of classes, and then can register the day that classes start.

* '''But I don't want to register at all. Can you make an exception for me to still audit the class?'''
** Answer: This is not possible for people in industry. For CU students we can sometimes make an exception, if there are at least 8 students registered for the class. Otherwise the Dean may cancel the class due to being too small, and in those cases we need all auditors to register as "Audit / No Credit". 

* '''I work in industry and use MS and chromatography in my work, can I take the class?'''
** Answer: Yes, registering through the [http://conted.colorado.edu/programs/access/ ACCESS Program]. You will have the option to take the class as "for grade", "Pass/Fail", and "Audit / No Credit." In making the choice, some things to think about are: (a) you need to have the relevant background or be willing to work to gain the background, especially if you want to take the class for credit. (b) This is a class for 1st year graduate students in Anaytical & Environmental Chemistry, and it takes quite a bit of work to take the class for credit. If you don't have much time for the class due to your work responsibilities, you should register as "Audit / No Credit".

* '''I am an undergraduate at CU, can I take the class?'''
** Answer: Yes, if you have the prerequisites. Contact Jose in case of doubt. However you need to take into account that this class takes substantially more work than a typical undergraduate course. 

* '''Do I need a laptop for this class?'''
** Yes, as we will do a lot of work using Igor, Labview, and other computer programs. A PC is much preferable as Labview does not work well on Macs, and many other programs, including the NIST MS database only run on PCs. If you already have a Mac laptop, we strongly recommend that you install a Windows partition using e.g. [http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ Bootcamp]. You will find it useful well beyond the class, as much research-related software does not run on Macs. Otherwise it is your responsibility to identify a PC where you can do the assigned homework and readings that only work on PCs.

* '''Do I need a background in computer programming or on Igor to take the class?'''
** Answer: We cover those topics but we assume that people have no strong background when they start the class. However we progress quickly, and any prior work that you can do in this area will be very useful in the course. If you do NOT have a background on computer programming (i.e. you don't know how to use FOR loops, DO-WHILE loops, IF-ELSE statements etc.), we strongly recommend downloading a [http://www.wavemetrics.com/support/demos.htm demo version of Igor] and going through the [http://www.wavemetrics.com/products/igorpro/manual.htm Getting Started section of the manual] and the [http://www.wavemetrics.com/products/igorpro/videotutorials.htm Video tutorials] before the class starts, as well as doing some of the [http://tinyurl.com/hw-5181 first homeworks from previous years].

* '''Could I use a programming language different than Igor for this class?'''
** Answer: No. It is important to be able to project the screen and discuss code from all students in class, during office hours and HW help sessions, in Piazza etc. That is facilitated by using a single programming language, and would be very confusing if we were to use multiple languages, especially since typically 2/3 of the students in the class have very limited to no previous programming experience. The choice of Igor instead of other equally capable languages such as IDL or Matlab is due to the fact that most groups in our Analytical Chemistry program, as well as many collaborators and future employers, use Igor heavily and they do not use the alternatives. Thus research is made more efficient because one can ask Igor questions from dozens of people in our program. Our groups also use large data analysis packages that are available only in Igor.
