Chem 113A (organic chemistry)- Instruct the first semester organic chemistry lab.

Chem 1A (General Chemistry) – Instruct the lecture and laboratory for the first quarter of general chemistry. Fundamental chemical principles with an emphasis on physical and chemical properties, stoichiometry, chemical reaction types, kinetic molecular theory, thermochemistry, modern atomic theory and atomic structure, chemical bonding and bonding theory, and molecular shapes. Chem 12A (Organic Chemistry) - Instruct lecture and laboratory for the first quarter of organic chemistry. This course is the first quarter of a three quarter Sophomore level course describing the chemistry of organic (carbon containing) compounds. Emphasis on the preparation, and purification of organic compounds.Chem 12C (Organic Chemistry) - Instruct lecture and laboratory for the second quarter of organic chemistry.Chem 12C (Organic Chemistry) - Instruct lecture and laboratory for the third quarter of organic chemistry. A continuation of a cumulative sophomore-level course describing the reactivity of organic (carbon containing) compounds. Continued emphasis on mechanisms of functional group transformations, multi-step syntheses and laboratory methods of synthesis, purification, isolation and characterization of target organic molecules.
