Welcome back to Reed. And thank you for signing up for Chem 324 – Adv. Physical Organic Chemistry.

You are probably wondering what this course will be about and that’s why you came here looking for some information. Well, your curiosity is well warranted. The course always changes a little (sometimes a lot!) from year to year. Perhaps because this year is the second time that I am offering the course in just two years, this enrollment is much smaller than last year’s crazy number and this will require some changes to fit the new enrollment.

This year I plan to follow the trails that have been laid down in recent years so don’t hesitate to talk to some seniors who have taken the class, but you can also expect some changes to fit the smaller class size and the better access you will have to molecular modeling software (more on that to come).

For now, take a look at what I have planned for this semester by looking at the About page.
