WEEK TWO!!!!

Organic Chemistry lab, jan 28: in an introduction to our final lab assignment for the semester, the prof described our lab excersize as a rule-guided recount of the reation we were to carry out and the results we were to observe. Having a formal  write-up, our lab will  certainly not involve any creativity on our part. "This is not a creative writing assignment!" she professed, and insinuated that if it were then we'd all have reason to be a little nervous. I just though this would be an interesting occurence in light of what we've been discussing in this class. Can the questionable rigidity of the scientific process just be a utopia in the study of the physical world?
