Health Science Adjunct - Organic Chemistry

Course content encompasses the fundamental concepts and principles of organic chemistry which include, but are not limited to, the following topics: introduction to the various classes of organic compounds, their structure and properties, along with their nomenclature and stereo chemistry, an in-depth understanding of the various kinds of organic reactions, functional derivatives, reaction mechanisms, and organic polymer chemistry.

The laboratory courses have been designed to be taken concurrently with, and to supplement the subject matter covered in the lectures. Virtual or at-home assignments have been integrated into the laboratory courses. The lectures and laboratories have separate course codes but together constitute a single course for teaching load (i.e. one Organic Chemistry I Lecture and one Organic Chemistry I Lab count as one course).

Candidates must show evidence of the following:

• A minimum of an acceptable master’s degree in the specific subject matter field (doctorate preferred) or an earned master’s or doctoral degree and satisfactory completion of 18 graduate semester hours in subject matter field and
• Experience teaching similar courses at a higher education institute.
• Preference will be given to candidates with experience teaching online.
