The list of faculty, instructors, and teaching assistants in the Department of Chemistry who were ranked excellent by their students has been announced from results of the Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 course evaluation processes.  

Results are based on the ratings from the Instructor and Course Evaluation System (ICES) maintained by Measurement and Evaluation in the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. This list is based on ICES forms completed by students during the Spring semester of 2020 and Summer 2020.
