Courses that Dr. Stokes has taught at Santa Clara University:

General Chemistry I, lecture and laboratory: Introductory course on chemistry foundations including stoichiometry, solution chemistry, thermodynamics, chemical bonding, hybridization and Lewis structures.    

General Chemistry II, lecture and laboratory:  Introductory course on chemistry foundations including gases, intermolecular forces, chemical kinetics, equilibrium and acids/bases.  

Chemical Thermodynamics: Upper-division course on fundamental laws of thermodynamics, and applications to ideal and real gas equations of state, ideal and real solutions, phase equilibria, and electrochemistry.

Quantum Chemistry (Spectroscopy): Upper-division course on quantum mechanics, including wave functions and probability, rotational, vibrational, and electronic transitions, atomic and molecular electronic structure, and magnetic resonance.

Departmental Research Seminar:  Invited guest speakers to campus for half- or full-day visits to expose current chemistry and biochemistry majors to active areas of research in university, industry, and government laboratories. Coordinated visit schedules for about 15 talks per year from 2015 to 2017. Also applied for and was awarded a Jean Dreyfus Lectureship Award for Undergraduate Institutions to bring Prof. Christy Haynes from the University of Minnesota to present a two-day research symposium, which will be held in October 2019.

Faculty-Mentored Capstone Research Experience: Supervised undergraduate students in research projects culminating in a comprehensive progress report, thesis and oral presentation.
