For many years I have resisted using clickers, mainly because at our university there is no standard universal clicker. I wanted to keep student costs as low as possible but also desired the type of live feedback during a lecture that clicker questions can provide. In both my general chem. (200-300 students) and upper division courses (50-75 students), I now pass out 4 or 5 colored notecards on the first day of class and make sure everyone has one of each color.

This is a powerpoint quiz show review that can be used to help students assess themselves on their level of understanding of simple bonding theory and some simple molecular orbital theory. It is appropriate for use in a general chemistry course or at the beginning of an advanced inorganic chemistry course to review simple bonding theory.  It was developed as an alternative to using clickers for those departments that do not have clickers or would prefer not to set up clicker questions.  Correct answers are shown at the end of each slide. 

There are three ways to modulate the redox potential of a metalloenzyme:  Changing ligands, changing geometry, and changing solvent. When I introduce this topic in Bioinorganic, I try to give my students concrete examples of each.  I love this one because it applies what they learned in Gen Chem about the Nernst Equation to a biological problem.  Granted, I don't use a metalloenzyme as my example, but I do pull the biological chemistry into it at the end, by referrring to the cytochrome oxidase/O₂ couple.
