个人简介

Laurence Lavelle completed his B.Sc. (Class Medal Physical Chemistry) at the University of Cape Town with a Chemistry major, and minors in Microbiology and Physical Oceanography. Also at the University of Cape Town he obtained his B.Sc. (Honors) and M.Sc. (Distinction) in Chemistry. While at Princeton University he completed his M.A. and Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics, and is currently a University Distinguished Lecturer at UCLA.

Instructional

All courses at UCLA are evaluated by students at the end of each quarter. These class evaluations consist of seven questions on a 1-9 scale and the option to write additional comments. They are handled by a centrally administered organization, the Office of Instructional Development, that is independent of all departments at UCLA. The second of these seven questions which asks the student to evaluate lectures or class presentations is the single most important question dealing with the preparation and quality of a lecture. Dr. Lavelle's yearly averages from 2001 to the present can be found at: Student Evaluations - a total of 12,291 student evaluations with an average lecture quality of 8.14 on a 1-9 scale. Courses Taught at UCLA: Chem-10A (General Chemistry for Life Science Majors); Chem-14A (Atomic and Molecular Structure, Equilibria, Acids and Bases); Chem-14B (Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, Kinetics, and Organic Chemistry); Chem-19 (Fiat Lux Seminar: Chemistry as Foundation for Research); Chem-20B (Chemical Energetics and Change); Chem-89 (Honors Seminar); Chem-89HC (Honors Contract); Chem-99 (Student Research Program); Chem-156 (Physical Biochemistry); Chem-196A (Research Apprenticeship in Chemistry and Biochemistry); Chem-196B (Research Apprenticeship in Chemistry and Biochemistry); Chem-199 (Directed Research in Chemistry and Biochemistry); Chem-375 (Teaching Apprenticeship Practicum)
