We currently have roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of our Biology majors and 1/2 to 4/5 of our Chemistry majors as aspiring pre-meds or pre-pharm, pre-vet...thus many minor in the other major and take additional coursework to prep for their desired professional school...
I was wondering how many folks include basic coordination chemistry in their General Chemistry course? Perhaps I will put together a poll on this topic. I used to teach coordination chemistry in Gen Chem, but it has since been removed in favor of more organic chemistry (eek!) that is more relevant for our contextual themes for the fall semester. Since I teach a 200-level (2nd year) inorganic course, I do not miss it too much in Gen Chem. I know that I will still have a chance to sink early inorganic hooks into our students. But it does mean that some of our students, most notably
