Selling Chemistry 30 BL study guide (used to get an A- in this class in Fall '13). The 15 typed page comprehensive guide includes discussion of key concepts, experimental techniques, summary of expected results and common questions/answers to typical quiz questions for each experiment. All information is easy to follow and organized by experiment name. Note: I did not attend a single lecture and relied solely on this. Price - $20 Text ********** if interested.

Winter 2024 - Deifel is a somewhat old-schooled style professor, in that he will lecture on the board with chalk, and supplements his own lectures with slides that previous professors have used for the class. The class is always interesting, but suffers a little bit from issues within the department(i.e. equipment issues, etc.) that tends to be out of his control. He's one of the rare professors who have extended office hours during the week, when you can go in and talk to him about both class content, and a variety of other things in and out of chemistry. His education experience makes him really personable as a professor, so definitely find him during office hours!
