Dr. Schnupf’s primary teaching responsibility is the General Chemistry and Physical Chemistry sequence. In the past, he has taught courses in Fundamentals of General Chemistry and Lab, General Chemistry I&II and Lab, Engineering Chemistry, Organic Chemistry I&II and Lab, Physical Chemistry I&II and Lab, Molecular Modeling, Environmental Chemistry (undergraduate and graduate) and Lab, Quantum Chemistry (undergraduate and graduate), Heterocyclic Chemistry, Molecular Spectroscopy, Analytic Chemistry Lab, Physical Science and Lab. In addition, Dr. Schnupf also taught online courses in General Chemistry, Physical Science and Lab, and Environmental Chemistry.
Students attend and write summaries of weekly seminars pertaining to all aspects of Chemistry. Course graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
Prerequisite: CHM256
CHM 412/512 - Molecular Modeling (1 hour)
An introduction to computational chemistry with an emphasis on the structures and energies of organic systems. Cross-listed with CHM 512. For cross-listed undergraduate/graduate courses, the graduate-level course will have additional academic requirements beyond those of the undergraduate course.
Prerequisite: C or better in CHM 256.
Overview: Computational chemistry is becoming a sought-after skill, even in those areas of chemistry that are traditionally characterized by primarily “wet” laboratory research. This course aims to provide you with an overview of the techniques used in modern molecular modeling. In addition, you will be provided with a solid understanding of the different types of computational chemistry and their applications without delving too deeply into the mathematical details of the underlying theories.
CHM470/570 –Physical Chemistry I (3 hours)
Topics include quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and statistical thermodynamics. It is recommended that students take CHM 326 before taking this course. Prerequisite:
Pre- and Corequisites: C or better in CHM 116 and CHM 256; MTH 116 or MTH 122; PHY 108 or PHY 201
Each student presents a seminar under the supervision of a faculty member.
Prerequisite: CHM 380.
Course Description: Each student will prepare a 15-20-minute professional seminar in chemistry or biochemistry and present it to an audience of peers (upper-class chemistry/biochemistry majors) and the departmental faculty. The student must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the topic being presented.

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Course Description: Each student will prepare a 30-40-minute professional seminar in chemistry or biochemistry and present it to an audience of peers (upper-class chemistry/biochemistry majors) and the departmental faculty. The student must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the topic being presented.
