Revision as of 17:06, 4 August 2013

  • This course WILL be offered in Fall 2013. It is not yet clear whether it will be offered in Fall 2014
  • This is the new home for the CU-Boulder Graduate Course CHEM-5181: Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography. A shortcut to this page is http://tinyurl.com/CHEM-5181.
  • The old web page is located here, and I'll be gradually move things over to this Wiki page, which is much easier to update.

Course Information

  • Schedule:
    • Lectures: Tue & Thu 11:00-12:15, Ekeley W166
    • Labs: to be determined, based on the student and MS facility schedules (typically three Tue afternoons 1-3 pm)
    • Office hours: immediately after class on Tue & Thu, or TBD after start of the course if that time doesn't work.

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 ACCESS Program. Auditors typically attend lectures but do not do the labs, homeworks, or exams, unless they want to.
  • But I don't want to register at all. Can I still audit the class?
    • Answer: No.
  • I work in industry and use MS and chromatography in my work, can I take the class?
    • Answer: Yes, registering through the 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".
  • Do I need a background in computer programming or on Igor to take the class?
    • Answer: No. We cover those topics but we assume that people have no background when they start the class. That said, any prior work that you can do in this area will be very useful in the course. We strongly recommend donwloading a demo version of Igor and going through the Getting Started section of the manual and the Video tutorials before the class starts.

Lectures, Reading, and Homeworks

These lectures are updated every year that the course is offered, so you should not print them ahead of time as they will likely changed for the present year. Relevant printouts will be distributed at the start of every lecture.
