Practical aspects of teaching a graduate-level small-mol­ecule chemical crystallography course We share our pedagogical vision for a graduate-level small-mol­ecule chemical crystallography in-class exercises and list our preferred textbooks, computer programs, and websites.

🚀 Learning crystallography by doing: "Students begin solving and refining structures early in the course, following a ‘do first, understand second' philosophy." doi.org/10.1107/S205... 😀

Connecting Key Concepts with Student Experience: Introducing Small-Molecule Crystallography to Chemistry Undergraduates Using a Flexible Laboratory Module A strategy for incorporating crystallography laboratory practice into various experimental chemistry courses for undergraduates is described. The flexible approach that relates key concepts to hands-on activities allows students to draw an immediate connection between crystallography theory and their own lab experiences, leading to a deeper understanding of crystallography content and making their brief laboratory visit a memorable experience.

We summarized our approach in doi.org/10.1021/acs.... @pubs.acs.org 😀 Any supportive crystallographic facility can offer this experience to #undergrad or #K12 students annually. Faculty can also reach out to arrange similar visits. #crystallography #education
