Teaching Philosophy:
Chemistry is truly the central science. Everyone who claims to be educated should have taken in his or her lifetime a comprehensive chemistry course. Chemistry is also a measurement science; it requires at the very least some basic mathematics flexibility. The more mathematics understood, the more relevant chemistry will become.
Chemistry is often perceived as being a difficult subject. Perhaps it is, but each of you can master it, given a little guidance and a lot of dedication.
