This letter is in strong support of Jumana Fathima’s application to Seattle University as an Undergraduate student. Jumana was a phenomenal student in my General Chemistry class (Chem 162—General Chemistry second quarter) during the Spring quarter of 2017. Through my interactions with her inside and outside of class, I have observed that she possesses various qualities which make her a successful, passionate, and curious student. Though she was a high school student (junior in high school), she possessed the maturity and intellect of a college student. She kept up with the rigor and pace of the class such as the quizzes, labs, exams, and in-class activities and was always curious to gain more information. She also overcame all obstacles that arose by reaching out to me and finding logical solutions. Her motivation, hard-work, and dedication were all exemplary. In short, Jumana possesses fantastic traits and will be phenomenal addition to Seattle University.
Throughout the duration of the class, we discussed various complex ideas of Chemistry. Whenever Jumana was confused about the material and wanted to ensure complete understanding of the material, she never hesitated to request additional explanations to the topic inside and out of class. Jumana

Jumana had to complete many labs and post-lab material on her own, without the help of her partner. However, she overcame this challenge by meeting with me and discussing possible solutions. In the end, she was able to complete and excel in all her labs. This incident showed me that whenever Jumana is faced with obstacles, she doesn’t give up. Instead, she reaches out to other resources (such as her peers and myself) to strategically find viable solutions to success. To Jumana, there are no such things as obstacles, but rather each challenge is a path by which she gains valuable skills as a student, leader, and
In order to fully engage students and make personal connections/ownership to the content, it is vital to connect a topic to the student’s life. Unit II is the smallest chemistry unit that provides the necessary background knowledge students need for
Her enthusiasm about attending the University of Michigan-Dearborn was not something to be overlooked. Being a mother, you want your children to grow up having them value education, reflect a moral and responsible outlook of what their future can hold for them if they work hard enough for it, and never give up trying. Education and maintaining excellent grades is one thing Taleen has worked very hard towards over the years I have known her. In addition, I can gladly produce a list of other parents and volunteer coordinators who can also support this Letter of Recommendation for the responsible and committed person Taleen is. There are many of us who have seen first hand the dedication and confidence she shows on a daily
Chemistry became the subject that I couldn’t wait to learn, and I often find myself getting excited over new discoveries in chemistry, such as the four new elements added to the periodic table that I texted multiple friends about. Since I want to be a teacher, I find the best way for me to combine teaching and chemistry is to help those in the school who need help learning the subject. My friend is a sophomore who currently takes level one chemistry, and for her, I serve as the person she can go to when she needs help with the subject, and I’m happy to help her whenever she needs

I was placed is Mrs. Basden’s AP Chemistry class at the Highland High School, and I observed on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I assisted Mrs. Basden with group questions and activities. The AP chemistry course is very intensive and contains a lot of required material to cover within a school year. The majority of the observation was revolved around solving practice problems that will help these students on the AP exam. Due to the rigorous schedule of teaching all the topics that will be on the AP Chemistry Exam, there are not many opportunities for large reading and writing strategies in the classroom towards the end of the school year.
Accelerated Chemistry I is a demanding course that involves critical thinking and problem solving. Throughout the course you will be asked to analyze data, draw conclusions, process new information, and build your own understanding of chemistry concepts. Only after you have investigated new ideas will you discuss them formally. The model we will be using in class is - engage, explore, explain, evaluate. You will be asked to analyze common occurrences such as melting ice cubes and burning candles in order to understand the chemical processes that allow them to occur. You will analyze the relationship between macroscopic properties and microscopic structures, which in turn will help you to gain a better understanding of the world around you,
I plan to major in chemical engineering at UNR. Possessing a thirst for discovering how the world functions through the lense of science, I am interning with Dr. Casey in the Chemistry Department to experience chemistry firsthand. Alongside the heavy workload, I will balance volunteering with Dean’s Future Scholars at UNR, I’ve dedicated 200+ hours to the group and look forward to helping out the lives of low-income, first generation kids like myself. I’ll advance from college into the real world examining life at the atomic level while giving back to the
I am sitting here completely dumb founded as I think about chemistry. How does chemistry relate to me? How do I relate chemistry? It is such a subject that I am unsure of how it fits into my life other than a class I took in high school. As I dig deeper instead of just scratching the surface, I realize that I use and will be going to use chemistry more and more in my life.
Skyler, now knowing where his mother was, felt comfortable walking around, though he didn’t plan on finding a book. As he walked around, he scanned the sides facing him of the books on the shelves for interesting titles. He passed many, uninterested and unsatisfied before coming across a book titled “Chemistry for Beginners”.
I am honored to be accepted to the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences as an undergraduate student for the 2016-2017 academic year. I am thankful for all of the scholarships and grants that you have offered me. I am proud to be recognized for my academic ability and my willingness to succeed, particularly at this great institution. As you may remember from my application, my commitment to community service and academic excellence are ideals that led me to choose MCHPS as my top choice. These ideals correspond greatly to your mission and vision for the College.
I have known Daniel I. Morales since sophomore year of high school in 2010 and we first met after receiving and sharing our respective Algebra 2 test scores. He has been a friend and focused individual with an inclination for achievement. Fortunately, we both attended UC Irvine and became roommates the first year. Coupled with sharing the same academic interests in science and mathematics, Daniel entered as a Biological Sciences major and myself as a Chemistry major. We both sought to pursue this challenge with all effort and determination.
This week was an experimental week for chem177. I am in track 2, and our first lab is the Alien Periodic table lab in conjunction with the Lewis Dot Lab. On Monday, I completed the academic integrity and the policy statements. With the syllabus, that was the first introduction to the expectations professor Stone has for his students regarding the lab. It was important for us to know the policies, so we had an idea on how to act in the lab sessions. In addition, he made his stance on academic integrity very clear. On Wednesday during lecture, we learned about the resources available to us, such as Scifinder and Zotero. These will be very important for us to use when assignments like the chemical element require in depth information. The biggest
My name is Crisol Escoto. My prior experience with chemistry was in my senior year of high school. That was over three years, so I hope that I remember the basis of it. I distinctly remember that the subject was a bit challenging, but it was incredibly fascinating. I hope that through this course I can successfully grasp the concepts that I struggled with previously.
Learning Chemistry, Maths and Physics never got me tired. I’ve started to experience enthusiastic feelings towards those subjects during my high school as I was acknowledged to proceed with my upper school in science stream. I couldn’t agree more that being a science student is very challenging as it involves critical thinking which relates with the theories and practical. However, after a couple of months of learning, I came to realize that I have been intrigued by those subjects despite the challenging parts of understanding. Hence, I really look forward to further my studies in Chemical Engineering which involves deeper understanding of those subjects.
Moreover, the kind of atmosphere and harmony among the students supported by an extensive network of notable alumni has prompted me to apply for a master’s program at the university. I believe with my commitment and passion, I would be able to embrace the demands of the program. With this statement, I earnestly seek the opportunity to learn and contribute sincerely to the prominent Aggie
