Frontiers of crystallography: A project-based research-led learning exercise

Abstract

A highly interactive research-led learning session for chemistry undergraduates is described, which aims to lead students to an awareness of the applications of crystallography technique through a mentored hands-on crystal structure solution and refinement session. The research-based environment is inherent throughout the 4.5 h program and is emphasized by several features in the learning experience.
