Safety is job one

Submitted by Alice / Villanova University on Fri, 09/16/2016 - 13:12
Description

This five slides about came to be from a discussion that happened after Marta Guron and Jared Paul gave a talk at the Philly ACS in Fall 2016. This is a modified version of a presentation given to all chemistry students regarding the proper handling and disposal of chemicals. Certain details will need to be modified to fit your individual institutions. The particular focus of the slides is for students to learn to turn to SDS sheets before using chemicals and to be able to read the labels on chemicals and understand the associated safety concerns.

Chapter 7--Stanley Organometallics

Submitted by George Stanley / Louisiana State University on Fri, 07/29/2016 - 12:19
Description

Chapter 7 from George Stanley's organometallics course, Alkenes and Alkynes

 

this chapter covers bonding and structure of metal pi-bonds, some descriptive chemistry, and their NMR spectroscopy.

The powerpoint slides contain answers to some of the in-class exercises, so those are behind the "faculty only" wall. I shares these with students after the class, but not before.

everyone is more than welcome to edit the materials to suit their own uses, and I would appreciate being notified of any mistakes that are found.

Developing a rubric for a learning object

Submitted by Joanne Stewart / Hope College on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 15:46
Description

A rubric articulates the expectations for an assignment and enables faculty to assess student work in a rapid and consistent manner.

This Five-Slides About was developed for the TUES 2016 workshop Organometallica at University of Michigan. It was presented in conjunction with Chip Nataro's modeling of the development of a literature discussion learning object (Ligand effects in titration calorimetry from the Angelici lab).

chem 165 Fall 2016

Submitted by Adam Johnson / Harvey Mudd College on Thu, 07/07/2016 - 13:49

.

This is a list of LOs created at the TUES workshop on Organometallics at the University of Michigan in Summer 2016 (and some friends from before the workshop too). I am planning to use all of these LOs this fall in my junior/senior level course on organometallic chemistry.  I'll post comments on each LO I use.

Szymczak Learning Objects from TUES workshop

Submitted by Adam Johnson / Harvey Mudd College on Fri, 07/01/2016 - 06:46

The memebers of the Szymczak group created a collection of their learning objects from the TUES workshop at the University of Michigan in Summer 2016 to make them all easier to find.

Introduction to Atom Economy and the Hydroamination Reaction

Submitted by Eugene Chong / University of Michigan on Fri, 07/01/2016 - 02:04
Description

This 5 slides about introduces the term "atom economy" as a means for undergraduates to start thinking about the efficiency of synthetic reactions. While this term may not be the best measure of the overall process of a reaction (as it ignores other factors such as solvents and materials used in purification), it provides a nice introduction to a concept on green chemistry. An example of an atom economic reaction, hydroamination, is briefly highlighted as it is an important ongoing research area. Notes for the instructor are included in the slides.
