Teaching Responsibilites

General Chemistry (CHEM 105 - 106) This course covers all the basic concepts of chemistry. The concepts at this level can be reinforced nicely through use of examples which relate chemistry to environmental, health and industrial problems. (Last taught, Spring 2013)

Quantitative Analysis (CHEM 312) This course covers chemical equilibria, acid-base titrations, statistical methods, chromatography, etc. The course is heavily laboratory oriented with six hours of lab each week. (Last taught, Fall 2012)
