Introduction	ChemDraw is a molecular drawing program, essential for students and researchers of chemistry and life sciences. With ChemDraw, drawing molecular structures as well as reaction schemes from small molecules to biomolecules can be done very quickly and efficiently for lab reports, presentations, posters, and publications.
Key learnings	In this course, we provide students of chemistry, materials science, and life sciences with knowledge of the basic ChemDraw functions as well as tips and tricks for efficient use of ChemDraw. We will show you how to use keyboard and mouse shortcuts to become faster. Investing time to learn will save a lot of time in your studies and lab.
Course content	• The basic drawing tools of ChemDraw and ways to speed up your workflow • Basics of Atoms and Bonds • Name-to-structure conversion and vice versa • Selecting what you want • Move, copy, align • Analysis Window, NMR, Stoichiometry table • Drawing reactions faster • Different ways of rotation and how not to mess up
Requirements	No previous knowledge of ChemDraw is required. ChemDraw is available for Windows and Mac. Please have your laptop ready (and preferably mouse) with the latest ChemDraw 22.2 installed. Check shortly before the course – by then, a newer release of ChemDraw might be available. To download ChemDraw go through the following steps: • Go to • Search “ETH Zurich” • Choose “Mnova ChemDraw Edition” (1st option). • Use your top-level ETH mail address: USERNAME@ethz.ch (otherwise there might be errors) and follow the instructions. The activation code can be found under "List Entitlements". Look in the column "Product_Activation" until you find a code of the form XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
