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 fundamentals of organic chemistry, the class will then focus on specific organic classes of compounds. Alkane compounds form one of the largest classes in organic chemistry. Students will learn their physical and chemical properties including synthesis and reactions. Alkene compounds form another important class of organic chemicals. Students will learn the physical and chemical properties as they relate to real life examples. Cyclic and aromatic compounds are perhaps the most important classes of organic compounds because of their presence in life-saving drugs. Students will explored the unique properties of cyclic and aromatic compounds. The reactivity and their implication in the function of drugs will also be discussed.
Qualities and Capabilities
A successful candidate will have:
Master's degree (PhD preferred), with experience teaching Organic Chemistry with lab work
Successful teaching experience at the undergraduate level
Experience in constructivist, inquiry-based learning
