“My colleagues and I set very high expectations, yet we are caring educators dedicated to the intellectual development of our students.” – Jack Bopp


Statement


Students working in my physical chemistry courses and laboratory will explore fundamental theories of matter such as thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry, quantum mechanics, and molecular orbital theory, as well as gain experience in the laboratory techniques used to study each.  In addition, we also study the physical laws of sound to explain how the human ear detects sound, how the human voice produces sound, how musical instruments work, as well as other natural manifestations of sound.   

 

My teaching responsibilities are largely in Physical Chemistry and The Science of Sound – Physical Chemistry I (CHM 361), Physical Chemistry I Lab (CHM 363L), Physical Chemistry II (CHM 362), Physical Chemistry II Lab (CHM 364L), Science of Sound (SCI 167), and Science of Sound Lab (SCI 168L).  I have also been involved in General Chemistry (CHM 145, CHM 146L, CHM 147, CHM 148L), Chemistry Seminar (CHM 452), Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (CHM 445), Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Lab (CHM 446L,) and Curriculum Methodology (CHM 457).
