Literature Seminars

Time limit of ~30 minutes, which allows for discussion throughout and questions at conclusion without exceeding ~45 minutes per speaker.

In order to gauge the approximate duration of a seminar, perform at least one practice talk prior to the actual presentation.

All slides should be typewritten or legibly handwritten with text, figures, schemes and tables enlarged enough for the audience to easily view on an overhead or document camera.  Alternatively, you may use your laptop and the projection camera.

Recommended topics: total syntheses, synthetic methodology, or career profiles of prominent synthetic chemists.
Problem Sets

Divide into two sections:

2 – 3 problems distributed one week prior to group meeting

1 – 2 problems handed out at group meeting for immediate consideration.

Each problem should be limited to a single transformation/mechanism, and attempting to solve the problem should not be dependent on having solved previous problems.

Include literature references for each problem on the complete problem set handed out at group meeting.

People assigned problem set should bring food and beverages for the break between the presentations and problem set.
