During Fall Semesters, I teach CHEM 11- the first semester of the year-long General Chemistry Course.
Spring Semesters- I teach undergraduate Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry (CHEM 134) and a graduate Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (CHEM 235). The syllabus of the latter tends to be more dynamic in nature depending on class size and students' backgrounds.

Good grammar matters. Have a look at two of my favorite sites:
If you send me an e-mail using IM lingo, do not expect a response.
Links of special interest to students in the inorganic courses include:
An excellent site at King's College for understanding Close Packed Structures.
More metal structures can be found here.
John Nash's Website at Purdue University is a fantastic Resource.
Rob Torkei's Organometallic Hyper TextBook
It might not be a bad idea to download and install CHIME. This plugin will help you visualize structures through your browser. The above links will do fine without it, but their full potential is best explored with Chime installed.
Some more cool links related to these courses:
An excellent intro to symmetry
If anyone ever wants to know why you like crystallography- think snow!

Food for Thought? Food 101 is a great column in the Washington Post. The author, Robert Wolke, is a professor emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh.
This is funny.
