Chemistry Final Paper - due April 14th

Here is the information for your Final Paper in Chemistry:

1. Choose a subject covered in the AIMC Chemistry Curriculum
2. Your paper will be an analysis of how your chosen subject connects with your Oriental Medicine studies here at AIMC.
3. Guidelines: 500 – 1000 words
4. Optional - feel free to include a Concept Map!

If this is your first trimester and you're not yet taking Oriental Medicine classes, then your paper should be an analysis of how your chosen subject connects with your reasons for studying Oriental Medicine.
