The Faculty of Chemistry from Hanoi University of Science (HUS) approached the University of Illinois in 2007 to teach the university's standard undergraduate majors curriculum to some of their most promising students. The curriculum to be taught included topics of double-focusing mass spectrometer, ICP-MS, GC-FTIR, atomic absorption, several GCs, and a GC-MS. Quantitative analysis was taught in two weeks, three lectures per day, five days per week. One quiz, a one-hour exam, and a final, plus daily homework assignments, were the means of evaluation. At the end of the teaching program it was found that the student performance was astonishing. In the one-hour exam, the mean and standard deviation matched that to be expected of native English-speaking Urbana students, who covered the material at a more reasonable pace.
