Curriculum Vitae Scott Ambrose Wicker, Ph.D.

General Chemistry II (CHEM 133), Southern University and A & M College, Baton Rouge, LA: Spring 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and Summer 2015. General Chemistry 133 is the second part of an introductory course work series for those students pursuing a degree in a STEM field and is preparation for the foundation course work. This introduction course provided students with fundamental laws, principles of chemistry, and chemical concepts with emphasis on essential concepts, such as Solutions, Properties of Acids, Bases, and Salts, various equilibria including chemical equilibrium, ionic equilibria, and solubility equilibria, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Electrochemistry. Problem solving, and class discussion focused on Chemical Reaction with particular attention paid to kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics. Instructional strategies focused on developing students Intellectual & Practical Skills and Integrative & Applied Learning needed to become a competent scientist. Written assignments focused on active reading strategies and concept maps using Nivaldo J. Tro, Fourth Edition of Chemistry: A Molecular Approach.

Chemical Research (CHEM 422/423), Southern University and A & M College, Baton Rouge, LA: 422; Fall 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 423; Spring 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013. Chemical Research courses are designed to give undergraduate chemistry majors in-depth training in research and in the art of communicating their research results in written and verbal form. Chemistry students receive in-depth experience in identifying research problems, conducting literature searches, formulating research protocol, performing independent research, writing research papers, and making formal presentations. This in-depth course work built on and/or integrated the student's knowledge of the five foundation areas. The in-depth experience built technical expertise, provides a more sophisticated view of chemical concepts, fosters critical thinking, promotes skill development, and gives student opportunity for intellectual growth and rigorous thinking that comes from engaging in chemical research topics at a high level. Instructional strategies focused on hands-on laboratory experiments and weekly group meetings to defend research progress and project. Written assignments focused on referred journal articles active reading strategies and senior thesis using Angelika H. Hofmann Third Edition of Scientific Writing and Communication Papers, Proposals, and Presentations.
