Analytical Curriculum Projects

The major thrust of my professional work is developing new materials for the analytical chemistry curriculum. Contributions are organized below by the nature of the curricular materials, with links to each.

• Analytical Chemistry 2.1 (on-line and pdf textbook)

• Analytical Chemistry 3.0 (a suite of Shiny apps)

• Chemometrics with R (on-line textbook)

• Case Studies (websites)

• Data Sets (spreadsheets)

• R Scripts and Packages (code for use in the R-programming environment)

• Shiny Apps (web-based applications)

• Laboratory Experiments (journal articles)

The textbooks, case studies, and data sets are released under the Creative Commons license included at the bottom of this page. Instructors, and others, are free to download and host these materials at their course or personal website or through their institution's or organization's content management system. Users also may prepare non-commercial derivative works provided the original source is acknowledged and that the derivative works are made available under the same license. The laboratory experiments are journal articles published in the Journal of Chemical Education, which holds the copyright.

Most software scripts, packages, and Shiny apps are released under a GNU General Public License that provides users with four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.

Funding to support these curricular projects was provided by DePauw University's faculty development programs, most notably in the form of sabbatical leaves and a Fisher Fellowship. Additional funding was provided by the following external grants:

• 1987 NSF-DUE award 8750039 from the National Science Foundation for “Modernizing the Instrumental Analysis Laboratory”

• 2001 NSF-DUE award 0125835 from the National Science Foundation for “Teaching Students to Think as Analytical Chemists by Developing a Laboratory Course in Method Development”

• 2003 award SG-03-041 from the Camile & Henry Dreyfus Foundation for “An Introductory Project-Based Laboratory Emphasizing Thermodynamics, Equilibria, and Kinetics”
