Chemistry 3: Organic Reactions Mechanism (with Lab) — CHE4213.01

Instructor: John Bullock
Credits: 4
Chemistry 3 builds on the principles covered in the prior courses of the chemistry sequence and takes a detailed look at reaction mechanisms and how they are studied. Beginning with chemical kinetics, we will spend time examining how mechanisms of several classes of organic reactions are thought to proceed, what evidence supports those theories, and how alternative hypotheses

Chemistry 3: Organic Reactions Mechanisms (with Lab) — CHE4213.01

Instructor: John Bullock
Credits: 4
Chemistry 3 focuses on the nature and pathways of organic reactions: what the steps are, how we experimentally determine them, and how we can use them to solve practical problems, such as the synthesis of a drug, or understanding the action of an enzyme. Emphasis will be using the general principles of nucleo- and and electrophilicity to provide a logical framework for

Chemistry 4 — CHE4277.01

Instructor: John Bullock
Days & Time: MO,TH 3:40pm-5:30pm
Credits: 4

Part of the Chemistry 1-4 suite, this will examine the energetics of chemical changes. Focusing on the enthalpic and entropic contributions to free energy change, we will examine how energy or work can be extracted from chemical systems and how these systems behave as they tend toward equilibrium. Types of equilibria to be covered will include acid/base, solubility, phase

Chemistry 4: Energetics, Equilibrium Electrochemistry (with Lab) — CHE4323.01) (day/time of Lab updated as of 10/9/2023

Instructor: John Bullock
Credits: 4
The final course in the Chemistry 1-4 sequence will examine the energetics of chemical changes. Focusing on the enthalpic and entropic contributions to free energy change, we will examine how energy or work can be extracted from chemical systems and how these systems behave as they tend toward equilibrium. The energetics of electron transfer reactions will be examined along

Chemistry Independent Research Projects — CHE4275.01

Instructor: Janet Foley
Credits: 2
Students will apply the principles of Chemistry 1, 2, and 3 to the execution of substantive research projects of their own design. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged: chemistry/biology, chemistry/geology etc. Students will also be responsible for independently analyzing their data and publicly presenting their findings. Persons interested in this class need to have

Chemophobia — CHE2248.01

Instructor: Fortune Ononiwu
Days & Time: TU 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 2

Chemicals often get a bad rap, from headlines warning of "toxic chemicals" to marketing labels that boast "chemical-free or all natural" products. But what are we really afraid of? In this course, we’ll use chemophobia as a starting point to explore the fundamental principles of chemistry. Why do certain substances evoke fear, and are those fears grounded in science? Through

Climate and Environment in the Anthropocene — ES2112.01

Instructor: Hugh Crowl
Credits: 4
Since the Industrial Revolution of the early 19th century, remarkable advances in technology have allowed for the human race to thrive and prosper.  However, these advancements have come at a cost to our environment in a number of ways.  For instance, our use of fossil fuels for efficient, cheap energy has directly resulted in global climate change.  Land use

Climate Change, Ecology, and Seasons (with Lab) — BIO4439.01

Instructor: Carly Rudzinski
Credits: 4
Human activities have rapidly altered the climate at a global scale. Writer Lynda Mapes notes, “the climate is changing and with it, our seasons.” Ecosystems and the organisms they support are facing warmer and earlier springs, shifts in precipitation patterns, and altered growing seasons. The timing of seasonal activities of animals and plants are known to ecologists as

Climate Change: Past, Present, and Future — ES2103.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
Climate change is inarguably the most pressing current environmental issue. While human-caused climate change may be unprecedented, climate change itself is not. Indeed, the average temperature of our planet has fluctuated substantially over many millennia due to natural variability in Earth’s orbit and surface conditions. In this course, we will examine the physical basis for

Climate Science and Policy — ENV4109.01

Instructor: Tim Schroeder
Credits: 2
This course will seek to understand the relationship between climate change science and policy, allowing students to study the scientific basis behind policies to address one of our most pressing issues. We will examine major climate policies and proposals – like the Paris Agreement, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and the Inflation Reduction Act – with an

Code Crafting — CS2236.01

Collaborative Software Engineering — CS4132.01

Instructor: justinvasselli@bennington.edu
Credits: 4
Software is rarely built by one person. It takes a team of people, technical and not, to make a piece of code become a product.
