Course Description: Designed to provide nonscience majors with a basic understanding of chemistry and how this knowledge can be useful and important in their daily lives. No laboratory. F. May not be taken for credit after successful completion of CHEM 110.
Course Delivery: Fully Remote
Course Description: A comprehensive survey of the principles of chemistry, including such topics as atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, states of matter, solutions, and colligative properties. The laboratory experiments are designed to illustrate and reinforce the topics covered in lecture. F.
Course Delivery- Hybrid: CHEM 110 will be delivered as a flipped hybrid course. Lecture videos will be posted and will be watched by students ahead of each class meeting according to a detailed schedule posted to the course Blackboard page. Students will complete small assignments each day after viewing the videos to keep on track. During regularly scheduled class time, we will utilize Zoom to do more in-depth practice and application of lecture topics. Weekly homework will be completed on the online system Chem101. Dr. Rudd will be present on campus for in-person office hours and will also hold virtual office hours. In addition to the textbook, a printer, scanner (a phone app scanner is acceptable and often free), and webcam compatible with Zoom will be required items in this course.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: CHEM 110 will be delivered as an initial Hyflex course to accommodate remote and in-person learners. After several weeks, the course will transition to a remote setting to better accommodate active learning activities. This course will be flipped, with course content delivered through videos and short assessments. We will meet synchronously to do more in-depth practice problems over Zoom and for questions and answers. Successful completion of this course will be dependent on the level of student engagement with the instructor and the material.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: I intend to provide course content via online/prerecorded videos. During assigned class time I intend to have half the class in the class room and the other half of the class able to watch class on zoom. The in class time will spend half the time to answering and clarifying questions regarding the video lectures. The other half of the in class lecture time will be devoted to working problems and assignments to help strengthen the understanding of the content delivered in the online videos.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: The class will be divided into two groups. The two groups will alternate each week coming to the lab for in person instruction or doing a remote activity in their own space. Additionally, all students will be offered an optional remote version of the labs that are intended to be done in person, so that any student that believes they should not attend in person for health purposes will still be able to complete a version of the assigned lab exercise.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: In order to social distance, the lab will be divided into two groups with the groups alternating each week either coming to the lab for in-person instruction or doing a remote activity on their own. In addition, a remote version of each of the in-person labs will be available so that any students who cannot attend in person for health reasons will be able to complete a remote lab exercise instead.

Course Description: A study of the relationship between the structures of organic molecules and their physical and chemical properties. An emphasis is placed upon the understanding of reaction mechanisms, the identification of compounds by spectroscopic techniques, and the use of reactions to prepare desired compounds. The laboratory includes compound preparations and purifications, the study of reaction mechanisms, and molecular modeling. Prerequisite: C- or better in 111. F.
Course Delivery- Hybrid: I intend to deliver instruction in person in an A/B schedule (most likely), while record/streaming using my iPad camera and wireless headphones.

Course Delivery: Fully Remote
Course Description: A study of the structure and function of major classes of biomolecules including peptides, proteins, enzymes, coenzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. Membranes and the storage and transmission of genetic information are also examined. In addition, current biochemical techniques and their applications are examined. The laboratory provides experience with current biochemical procedures. Prerequisite: C- or better in 261. Accelerated summer organic chemistry courses will not be accepted as a substitute for the CHEM 261 prerequisite for this course. F.
Course Delivery: Fully Remote
Course Description: An introduction to quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and bonding applied to understanding chemical systems. Mathematical model building using Mathematica is emphasized throughout. Prerequisites: MATH 111, PHYS 111 (preferably) or PHYS 116, CHEM 261 or consent of instructor. F. (Group II)
Course Delivery- Hybrid: CHEM 350 will be delivered in a traditional in-person lecture format. Lectures will be recorded and uploaded to the proper channels for students who cannot return to campus or who may need to miss class due to illness. Students will complete most assignments on paper and will scan and upload these assignments to be graded. In addition to the textbook, a printer, scanner (a phone app scanner is acceptable and often free), and webcam compatible with Zoom will be required items in this course.

The course will focus on the design of chemical instrumentation and the information that can be obtained from the resulting data. Topics include optical spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, NMR, electrochemistry, and chromatography. Laboratory work focuses on gaining the skills required to solve chemical problems using instrumental techniques. Prerequisite: CHEM 270; CHEM 350 or consent of instructor. F. (Group II)
Course Delivery- Hybrid: I plan to meet with student during our assigned lecture time - I also plan to host zoom meetings for students unable to attend.
