I want students to BOTH learn chemistry and develop scientific skills. My students learn to apply quantitative models to the world and extract conceptual understanding and explanations from these models. I am part of the core leadership team for the ChemLinks project, one of NSF's systemic initiatives to change the first 2 years of college chemistry. I have been a member and chair of the Learning and Teaching Group, as well as being a member of the Environmental subgroup, the Executive Committee, and the Publishing Committee.
Modules come with instructor guidebooks and a module teaching guide.
I am a co-author on this one, and have taught it many times in Chem 123. I have taught this one several times in Chem 123, and was the first in-class tester. Quantum Philosophy I have always loved philosophy, so I sometimes teach with a Carleton Philosopher, Prof. Dave MacCallum, who specializes in Quantum Philosophy. I include many interdisciplinary aspects of chemistry in all my courses, including the ozone hole, global warming, computer chips, solar cells and LED's, quantum teleportation, and more. I have an increasing interest in environmental studies and the Carleton ENTS program.
