Interdisciplinary project-based learning [1] provides a better insight how research projects work and are carried out. The project-based approach provides a highly motivating environment and fosters critical thinking in a group-based process. It is something I have been interested in for a while and I certainly want to explore the opportunities the Analytical Chemistry curriculum provides for this approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[1] e.g.,\u00a0DL Van Engelen,\u00a0SW Suljak,\u00a0JP Hall &amp; BE Holmes,\u00a0Undergraduate Introductory W Quantitative Chemistry Laboratory Course:\u00a0Interdisciplinary Group Projects in Phytoremediation (2007)\u00a0 Journal of Chemical Education, 84(1) 128-131.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will be participating in a Course Design Workshop at McGill University for 2 day sessions in the next 2 weeks.
