Student Resources
- Office hours and course logistics are shared on each course LMS page.
- Recommended study approach: active problem-solving, spaced review, and group discussion.
- For support with chemistry fundamentals, students are encouraged to use tutoring and supplemental instruction resources at EIU.
Teaching Philosophy
My goal is to help students build durable problem-solving skills in chemistry by connecting core concepts to real molecular systems. I emphasize clear reasoning, quantitative thinking, and scientific communication so students can apply chemistry confidently in advanced coursework, research, and professional settings.
