This material found here highlights a courses that I have taught or currently
teaching as well as educational activities that I have been involved.
Although most of the material listed here can be considered teaching,
research activities are implicitly included. The idea is that what one
learns teaching is carried over to research and what is learned from
research is a basis for what we teach.

| Undergraduate Courses |
|
Honors General Chemistry II
|
Honors General Chemistry is designed to promote critical
thinking skills to chemistry, biochemistry and forensics
students. The topics covered in the second semester include
thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base, electrochemistry
and nuclear chemistry. |
|
Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences
|
PChem of the life sciences is designed as a one semester survey course
for B.A. biochemists. In this course we discuss topics
from the areas of thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum,
and spectroscopy. |
|
Topics in Chemistry
|
Topics in Chemistry is a seminar style course in which the students
are introduced to topics that normally would not have exposure to in our
chemistry curriculum. Several topics are chosen at the beginning of the
semester. From this list of courses the students are then given the responsibility
of creating lectures for the entire class. |
| Graduate Courses |
|
Quantum, Structure & Dynamics I
|
This is a graduate level course designed to show students the interplay
between quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry, and spectroscopy. |
|
Thermodynamics & Kinetics
|
In this graduate level course the students are introduced to classical
thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, and kinetics. |
