Focuses on the development of skills in methods of preparation, purification and identification of organic compounds. This course is designed for students who are pre-health students and NOT chemistry majors/minors.Prerequisite: CHEM 1421, 1621, or 1811. CHEM 2410 or 1820 must be taken concurrently or prior to CHEM 2311. Drop/withdrawal from CHEM 2410/1820, requires drop/withdrawal from CHEM 2311.

This course is designed to give you a quick review and understanding of traditional and modern synthetic reaction mechanisms and principles involving heterocyclic molecules. The course will primarily cover the synthesis and general reactivities of aromatic heterocyclic ring systems. Must have successfully completed Organic Chemistry II (CHEM 2420).

This interdisciplinary course will introduce advanced undergraduates and graduates to molecules and their chemistry in different sources throughout the universe. Topics include gas-phase and grain-surface reactions, astronomical spectroscopy, laboratory experiments, and astrochemical modeling.

Emphasizes the practical aspects of general, organic, and biological chemistry with numerous applications to clinical and health-related cases and issue. Provides health professionals with the chemical background necessary to understand the diagnostic tests and procedures needed for healthcare delivery. Relationships between inorganic chemistry and the life processes that occur during normal and abnormal metabolism.

New course in the subject of chemistry.

This STEM teaching course will help graduate TAs integrate learning theory and effective student engagement practices into their teaching. GTAs will participate in guided discussions to relate recommendations from the education literature to their classroom experiences. Assignments will include learning activities, such as teaching observations & reflections, and designing interventions to assist students with difficult topics/skills.

Discusses the principles & commonly used techniques in chemical biology. The text will be used as a mechanism to introduce fundamental concepts through lecture and explored in further detail using the primary literature. The goal is to gain an appreciation for the detailed understanding of biological processes that can be afforded through chemical approaches. We will strive to eradicate the often irrational and unfounded fear of all things "bio".

The focus of this course is to prepare students for their Chemistry Ph.D. candidacy exam & to develop appropriate written & oral communication skills. Each student will prepare several written abstracts & make oral presentations for the class in a format that largely mimics the candidacy exam. Students are required to attend departmental seminars & colloquia to expand their knowledge of current experimental and theoretical frontiers in science.

Covers an introduction to nanomaterials and to physical methods for nanomaterials characterization; synthesis, surface modification and assembly nanomaterials; and magnetic, optical and catalytic properties of nanomaterials. The course also highlights the importance of the design of nanomaterials for modern energy, environmental and biomedical applications.

Presents the analytical and physical science opportunities from the study of biosystems in engineered microsystems
