CHEM 4531 - Physical Chemistry 2 Instructor Package
Background:
This instructor package is the result of a course transformation of the Physical Chemistry 2 course, taught by me from spring 2007 to fall 2011. The course transformation was supported by my NSF CAREER Award (CHE-0845618) and included in particular the introduction of concept tests "clicker questions" into the course. Most of the materials of the course are available to instructors upon request. Please send me an email if you would like access to these materials (see email address on the right).
Available course materials are learning goals, clicker questions and homework sets. Below are also links to JAVA applets that I use in the course.
