Final Presentations and Report
All students will give a final oral presentation to the Miami University department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. This gives students the opportunity to discuss their research projects with other faculty advisors and students. In addition, a final report must be completed to demonstrate the student’s progress in the program. These reports are designed to help the student develop writing skills for their professional advancement as a researcher and scientist. Training and mentoring is provided to help students best present their work in a professional environment.
