Test Item File for the 1st edition of a new book by Frost/Deal, 2010. One of the 2008-2009, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 advisors for InChemistry magazine, published by the Education Division of the American Chemical Society. Edited the Instructor’s Resource Manual for the 9th edition of the Petrucci, Harwood, Herring, Madura, text entitled: “General Chemistry: Principles & Modern Applications.” January 2007 Conducted two projects included on the Instructor Resource CD/DVD which accompanied the “Essential Organic Chemistry,” 1E by Paula Bruice. The two projects were the CRS (Classroom Response System) PowerPoint Presentation and the AVLog (art database) content, May 2006 Wrote four media labs for the 10th edition of “Chemistry for Changing Times” by Hill and Kolb. I developed questions for the research navigator portion of the text and checked all the quiz questions. Reviewed numerous chapters for several textbooks ranging from non-science majors courses to organic and biochemistry. I also am a reviewer for the Journal of Chemical Education. |
