The Opportunity
Lesley University's department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is seeking a highly qualified adjunct instructor to teach CPHYS-2308 Organic Chemistry I w/Lab (4 Credits) during the 2025 Fall Semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:45-9:15PM. This course is taught fully in person, on campus.
Course Description: The primary objective of this class is to gain a basic understanding of Organic Chemistry. The class will start from an in-depth understanding of the periodic table: various properties of atoms and their implications. Then we will focus on various chemical bonds: ionic, covalent and coordination bonds, and also the concept of lone pair, lewis structure, and single, double and triple bonding. Students will then learn about four classes of hydrocarbon which form the basis of organic chemistry: alkane, alkene and alkyne and aromatic compounds. Student will explore nomenclature, hybridization and isomerism of these compounds. After building the fundamental...
