         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my 30th year of teaching at Cal Poly Pomona (!), and my first semester teaching with my new textbook! A little bit about me: I am from Connecticut, I earned my BS degree at UConn and went to UCLA for my PhD. I enjoy kayaking, I collect PEZ dispensers and I love to travel. I look forward to working with you this semester :-)</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone and Dr. Starkey!! My name is Tra and I'm a senior in Biology. Even though my major is biology, I realize the knowledge that I have had in general chemistry and organic chemistry brings to me so many interesting things and experience. It used be a tough subject for me, however I never regret spending time to study Ochem since it helps me a lot on the way to become a biologist. I hope we will have a wonderful semester in this class!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, my name is Edward Tuj. I am currently an American Chemical Society (ACS) student who is also minoring in mathematics. I've heard stories about how people struggle in ochem. I didn't see it until I got to the end of 3140, where reactions and synthesis came to be. Though I find it difficult, I also find it interesting, and I hope that my interest in it leads me to do good in 3150. Also, I really enjoy listening to music and slacking off.</p>]]></description>

I'm excited to learn from Dr. Starkeys new textbook this semester and be able to do organic chemistry with ease. This is my dog, Riley, he has been my purpose for pursing a life in vet med and he stays up late with me supporting but also judging me when I take so long when studying chemistry and he wants to sleep.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi! My name is Bryce, and I am a 5th year environment biology major with a minor in multimedia journalism. My hobbies include rock climbing and whitewater rafting. Fun fact, you can find me working at the school climbing wall, or if you ever go on a trip through the adventures department, I might be one of your trip leads. I also work as a raft guide near Lake Tahoe during my summers. I really enjoyed organic chemistry 1 last fall and I'm looking forward to this class then biochemistry in the spring!</p>]]></description>
