http://science.kennesaw.edu/~mhermes/courses/

Extractions: Dr. Matthew E. Hermes Introduction: We believe our students can best gain deep understanding of chemical principles if we develop our General Chemistry course as a hierarchy of concepts. We begin with three fundamentals: That chemical principles can be taught as a series of concepts linked with each other into concept maps That we should separate chemical principles into those describing matter and those that describe physical and chemical transformations of matter and emphasize descriptive concepts first. That case studies, such as ChemCases.Com , of contemporary products and events that relate chemical principles to critical, responsible decision making offer students a vehicle for high levels of chemical cognition. We based the second semester General Chemistry course taught at Kennesaw State University in Spring 1999 on these principles. A group of twelve mature students achieved remarkable academic and personal growth as result of this course. Concept - An idea or generalized notion
From Chemical Philosophy To Theoretical Chemistry
Mary Jo Nye From Chemical philosophy to Theoretical chemistry Dynamics of Matterand Dynamics of Disciplines, 18001950 Publication Date March 1994.
http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/6189.html

Extractions: DESCRIPTION (back to top) How did chemistry and physics acquire their separate identities, and are they on their way to losing them again? Mary Jo Nye has written a graceful account of the historical demarcation of chemistry from physics and subsequent reconvergences of the two, from Lavoisier and Dalton in the late eighteenth century to Robinson, Ingold, and Pauling in the mid-twentieth century. Using the notion of a disciplinary "identity" analogous to ethnic or national identity, Nye develops a theory of the nature of disciplinary structure and change. She discusses the distinctive character of chemical language and theories and the role of national styles and traditions in building a scientific discipline. Anyone interested in the history of scientific thought will enjoy pondering with her the question of whether chemists of the mid-twentieth century suspected chemical explanation had been reduced to physical laws, just as Newtonian mechanical philosophers had envisioned in the eighteenth century.

Extractions: philosophy Our research group has a multidisciplinary collection of students from Chemistry, ECOS, Biology, Biochemistry, Psychology and Computer Sciences. It is our belief that new, innovative, breakthrough technologies are going to be required in order to provide society with materials and processes that will not harm human health or the environment. By applying the principles of Green Chemistry in a broad spectrum of applications, we aim to contribute sustainable alternatives for industry's use. We recognize the value of diversity in research. We have found that by identifying overlap of disciplines leads to dramatically different ways of doing things. Examples of some of our projects include solar energy devices, drug delivery systems, immunosuppression pharmaceuticals, anticancer compounds, antibiotics, microelectronics, holography and renewable plastics. All researchers in our group participate in K-12/community outreach initiatives in environmental and science/math education. We have an active program to visit or host groups of people to illustrate Green Chemistry as a proactive vehicle for pollution prevention. We are committed to bringing the benefits of environmentally benign research to the nonscience community. From a technical perspective, most of our work involves understanding how molecules organize and react in natural systems. We are learning how plants acquire light energy, how cell membranes maintain fluid properties, how minerals acquire colors and shapes, how DNA is damaged under sunlight, and other things... We believe that if one wants to build a material that is environmentally benign and safe, drawing inspiration from nature is a good starting point - because they have already evolved within a sustainable ecosystem.

http://www.chemistry.pomona.edu/Chemistry/InformationRes.html

Extractions: Professor Wayne Steinmetz, who has taught for over 20 years in Pomona's Chemistry Department, points to the number of open office doors in the Seaver Chemistry Laboratory in explaining the department's philosophy: "The tradition of the department and and the faculty is access. I think there's a misconception that all learning takes place in the classroom." The Chemsistry Department is very flexible in allowing the students to meet the requirements for the concentration. Students may focus on their upper-division work in any of the subfields of chemistry, but may also elect to focus in geology, biochemistry via our Molecular Biology program, Chemical Physics, or Public Policy and Analysis. The beginning student has three tiers to choose from when they begin their study of chemistry. For students who have AP or equivalent experience, there is the opportunity to take an accelarated course that covers general chemistry in one semester. For mathematically underprepared students, a small section of about 35 students is offered. The remainder are in a typical General Chemistry course that divides into five separate labs, each taught by a professor. Historically, the Chemistry Department has placed emphasis on enabling students to research with faculty, both in the summer and during the academic year. Students who engage in such work have the opportunity for extended, one-on-one interaction with faculty while conducting original scientific experiments. Student involvement in research does not go unrecognized in this department; over the last three decades, over 100 students have co-authored research articles with their professors. Six to 10 students typically serve as research assistants to chemistry faculty each summer.

http://chemistry.bard.edu/about/

Extractions: Why is it advantageous to study Chemistry at Bard? The advantages of small classes with individual attention to students is well recognized. More challenging material can be introduced in class and in the laboratory when dedicated professionals are involved and interested in student progress. This is particularly true in science where universities use graduate students to lead "discussion sessions" and to supervise laboratories. These students have widely varied backgrounds, alternate interests and undeclared priorities. Large classes also require computer grading of exams which become multiple choice, short answer tests that encourage this type of knowledge. What is less commonly noted is the related effect of large classes on student attitudes. At the "Ivy Schools", the majority of entering students declare themselves to be "premedical" students. The basic science courses therefore become the obstacle courses where some fixed percentage of students will receive the grades needed to continue in the program and gain eventual admission to medical school. (The percentage of entering "pre-meds" who make it to medical school is very small.) This situation causes two great problems: (1) The competition between students for the top grades causes animosity, resentment and counterproductive behavior in many of these students, and (2) the grade, rather than the understanding and enjoyment of the material, becomes the goal.

Extractions: CHEMISTRY Why Not a Philosophy of Chemistry? Of Minds and Molecules: New Philosophical Perspectives on Chemistry. Nalini Bhushan and Stuart Rosenfeld, eds. xvi + 299 pp. Oxford University Press, 2000. $55. Philosophy of physics and philosophy of biology are well-established subdisciplines of the philosophy of science, so why not philosophy of chemistry? I remember posing this question as an undergraduate chemistry major to my first philosophy instructor, a well-known philosopher of science. He pondered the question awhile and answered that he didnt really know, that perhaps there are no interesting philosophical questions in chemistry. This is a view challenged by Nalini Bhushan and Stuart Rosenfeld in Of Minds and Molecules , a new collection of 15 essays about philosophy of chemistry. The unwarranted neglect of chemistry by philosophers of science came about mostly by historical accident. Early 20th-century philosophy of science was dominated by individuals trained in mathematical logic or physics. In addition, Einsteins work challenged long-standing ideas about the nature of time and space, directing much philosophical attention toward physics. Since then, philosophers of science have often been drawn to areas characterized by significant foundational disputes or unclear or ambiguous basic conceptsproperties generally not attributed to chemistry.
