General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Jennifer Tillinger of Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, has taught the lectures and developed laboratory courses for the introductory GOB and general chemistry course sequences for the past 20 years. Professor Tillinger is passionate about teaching chemistry and, in particular, the GOB course sequence that prepares students with little or no experience in chemistry for the highly competitive Nursing and Allied Health programs at Oakland University. Because of her dedication to student success, she seamlessly converted the experiments for both GOB and general chemistry into interactive lab experiences for students at Oakland University during COVID-19. Stephen Stoker of Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, has taught the gamut of introductory chemistry courses, specializing in GOB, for the past 30 years. Weber State University has had a very large Health Professions school, and GOB is geared at students with little or no experience in chemistry (notably Allied Health and Nursing majors).
