QUT student chemical engineer teaching general chemistry and chemistry for health science

Maryam's CV

General chemistry (CVB101),
This unit Covered different subjects including Chemical Structure and Reactivity, provide the broad foundation to progress to more specialized topics in analytical, inorganic, and physical chemistry. I have had teaching experience for at QUT.

Chemistry for health science (CZB190),
The study of chemistry forms an important foundation for all students of the health sciences. This unit will develop the essential concepts of chemistry necessary for students studying health and biological science with topics introduced and applied in a contextualized manner relevant to their disciplines. I have had teaching experience for 3 semesters at QUT.
