Comments/Suggestions
1  

Presenting my seminar in class provided valuable experience

 

   
2  

There should be feedback/discussion on in-class presentations

 

   
3  

Posting the abstracts online is preferable to distributing paper copies at class time

 

   
4  

I read [(3) > 2/3; (2) ~ 1/2; (1) < 1/3] of the posted abstracts prior to the seminar

 

   
5  

The parallel sessions provided a good mechanism to schedule the seminars

 

   
6   I am proficient at using SciFinder Scholar    
7  

I would like more instruction on other tools for using the chemical literature
