1. CH-591 Advanced Organic Chemistry I - Structure
Grade: A
Taken: Fall 1996
2. CH-592 Advanced Organic Chemistry II - Mech/Syn
Grade: A-
Taken: Spring 1997
3. CH-444 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

When I took this course it was a mix of undergrads and grads. I thought I was taking it as a graduate course (and did extra project for grad credit) but professor (as I learned later) did not give the correct 500number to the course.
4. Took another chemistry course in chemistry department but it was not for graduate credit.
Note: Except for grad Biochemistry course(s), I have not taken undergrad biochemistry class and mostly offered during times I can not attend, there are no other grad chemistry classes offered at BSC (as I know of).
1. Educ 615 W/E: Three Communities
Grade: A
Taken:Spring 2000
Course Description
Still looking for actual description from college. Will email actual course description when obtain it. It was a course of South Shore science teachers (elementary thru high school) that investigated watershed and water quality issues and how we could implements into our classes (more a teacher class than a science class).
2. Polymer 698N Practice: Chemistry of Polymer
Grade: Pass
Taken: Summer 2001
Course Description:
Still looking for actual description from college. Will email actual course description when obtain it. This course was the summer institute for American Chemical Society Northeast Division / New England Chemistry Teachers Association where chemistry teacher learn about polymers and polymer chemistry. It is a series of lecture on the basic chemistry of polymer and the application of polymer including current research going on at Umass Amherst Polymer Chemistry Department. (more technical course but not a true lecture driven course).

1. ECOS-640 Chemistry of Natural Waters (now know as EEOS-640)
Grade: BC (realize it may not work due to grade but wanted all course included)
Taken: Spring 2005
Credits: 3
Course Description
A basic description of the chemistry of natural waters and especially marine waters designed to lay foundation for more advanced course work. Emphasis will be on the composition of natural waters and the identification of the important chemical, physical and biological processes controlling their composition.

1. 10.535 Cell & Microbe Cultivation
Grade: A
Taken: Fall 1999
Credits: 3
Course Description
This course presents the principles of biochemical engineering with an emphasis on the unit operation of cell cultivation for production of commercially important products, especially biopharmaceuticals. The bioreactor is viewed as a device for controlling the environment of recombinant and traditional cultures. Major topics include media design, kinetics of growth and production, expression systems, bioreactor types, cell physiology, and bioprocess economics.
