Week 2: September 29

Monday's class should be a good one. Remember that we are moving to 52-A12!

We'll start with Meet the Faculty. I'll be bringing a couple of colleagues, who will introduce themselves and talk a little about what classes they teach. Feel free to ask questions [like "What's your favorite element?", "What was your favorite undergraduate class?", "What do you like to do when you're not teaching?", etc].

Afterwards we'll switch over to a PowerPoint presentation during which I will attempt to outline the branches of chemistry [so you'll better understand what you're getting into] and introduce you to some interesting subspecialties you probably didn't know existed.

And now, please answer these new questions:

a) What has been some of your favorite things about the first week of school?
b) Any surprises so far (in terms of classes, instructors, living arrangements, etc)?

the course experiment begins with a question
