About Lev

I have some 28 years experience in theoretical and practical aspects of organic and physical analytical chemistry and worked with a wide variety of analytical instrumentation using a broad range of analytical techniques. My skills and scientific expertise includes spectroscopy, specifically Raman, FT-IR, UV/VIS, multinuclear NMR, liquid, solid state and ultra-low temperature single crystal EPR, X-ray diffractometry and fluorescence and variable temperature qualitative and quantitative CIDNPS (Chemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization spectroscopy). I am also fully competent in a number of chromatographic methods including prep 1D and 2D TLC, various column techniques, GC/FID, GC/MS, LC/MS, LC/MS/MS and ICP/MS. I possess a very firm grounding a great deal of practice applying statistical data processing. My theoretical background includes nine courses in Math (calculus I-IV, linear algebra, applied computer analysis, differential equations, functions of complex variables, advanced topics in analysis), eight courses in Physics (introductory physics I, II with lab, waves and oscillations, analytical mechanics, computational physics, modern physics, mathematical physics, spectra and structure) and 12 courses in Chemistry including general I and II, organic I-III, theoretical I and II (thermo/kinetics and quantum mechanics), instrumental analysis I and II, and graduate level courses in advanced organic chemistry, spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and chemometrics. My facility with computers includes Vernier and MATLAB (fitting NMR, LC, GC and GC/MS), Bioinformatics, EASYSPIN (fitting EPR spectra), Gaussian and Spartan.

About the lesson

My experience has been that the students often lack access to the following key resources: content and grade-appropriate assignments, deep engagement and faculty holding high expectations for their achievements. This is particularly true of students with mild to moderate disabilities, those from racial minorities, in low-income families, and those who are still effectively English language learners. Faculty way too often are content to let many students do work that’s far below their grade level, act on assumptions about what students want and need out of school without really listening to them. In essence they choose which students are more deserving of reaching their goals. Therefore, I start with the assumption that the students are certainly all capable of mastering expectations for their grade level. EVERY student is a work in progress with the key mindset - GROWTH. Under no circumstances must one attempt to deliver rigorous or even expository high grade level curriculum to a anyone whose performance levels are unevenly distributed. The key, of course, is the use of the correct pedagogy. My approach is based on the dictum of "smart is something you learn/get" through learning and performance orientation. Hence, the proper management of content delivery is differentiated instruction, i.e. elucidating individual learning styles of every student. Learning and teaching must be constructed by taking into account variable learning styles. This is done by focusing on the content, the process, the delivery of a learning product and by creating optimal learning environment in an arranged calm physical space. The content delivery will be actively designed to progress students from acquiring knowledge to comprehension of fundamental concepts, followed by the application of newly acquired skills towards the critical thinking phase - analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The process may include mixed media, guided inquiry, discovery-based format, etc. Each student will be afforded an individual education approach structured in such a way as to allow for occasional modification of the content and accommodation of each student's learning style and by providing appropriate space and adequate time for digesting the new material. The learning product will be highlighted by the show of mastery of the subject by the student through written and/or oral responses, monitored consistently through the progression of the their development.
