Chemistry Made Simple (Udemy.com)

I am a U.S. certified secondary teacher (Biology/Chemistry: 2000-present, Michigan) as well as a college professor for 10+ years.

In the classroom environment, lectures have to begin and end at a certain time, and you're often rushed to write things down as fast as possible. A lot of information is missed as you scramble to get everything onto your paper. I notice this with my students, which is why I started creating a blended, or "flipped classroom" approach for some of my classes. If a student is given access to the content, they can control lecture pace and be able to pause and "rewind" when necessary. With biology and chemistry being details-based sciences, having that control can make a significant difference in understanding lectures better. With Udemy, you're in charge of when and for how long you choose to learn per session. 

Understanding biology and chemistry provides a foundation to understand living (and nonliving) things around us.  When we understand how life works, it aids us in understanding the interconnectedness of organisms and teaches the mechanisms of how we evolved through adaptations and changing environments.  When we understand nonliving material, we know more about the physical world we are part of.

Much of my job involves classroom teaching, however I engage in research when opportunities arise.  Some of the scientific research I have been involved with include:
