Chemistry Education - Teaching and Development

One of my major concerns in education is fostering analytical and problem-solving skills in my students. A short essay describing my thoughts on problem solving in terms of the three questions What? How? and Why? can be viewed here.

I was a participant in the Manitoba CRYSTAL project in chemical education. CRYSTAL was an initiative funded by NSERC to develop tools for enhancing science literacy in young Canadians. This project ran between 2005 and 2009, but the CRYSTAL initiative was cancelled in 2009.

UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING

• CHEM 2220 "Introductory Organic Chemistry 2: Reactivity and Synthesis".
• CHEM 3390 "Structural Transformations in Organic Chemistry".

GRADUATE TEACHING

• CHEM 7550 "Design of Organic Synthesis".
• CHEM 7460 "TOPICS IN SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and their use in organic synthesis", with Prof. Peter Budzelaar.
• CHEM 7900 "Current Research Issues in Chemistry" - actually a course in the presentation and public speaking skills needed by chemists.
