Chemistry 10th Edition International Edition by Kenneth W – Test Bank

Kenneth Whitten holds the title of professor emeritus at the University of Georgia (UGA). Dr. Whitten acquired his A.B. at Berry College, M.S. at the University of Mississippi, and Ph.D. at the University of Illinois. Before joining the UGA faculty in 1967 as an assistant professor and general chemistry coordinator, he taught at Tulane, the University of Southwestern Louisiana, the Mississippi State College for Women, and the University of Alabama. Throughout his UGA career until his retirement in 1998, he held the position of general chemistry coordinator. Dr. Whitten’s accolades include receiving the G.E. Philbrook Chemistry Educator of the Year Award, the Outstanding Honors Professor title, the Franklin College Outstanding Educator of the Year award, the General Sandy Beaver Teaching Award, and a Senior Teaching Fellowship. A fitting tribute was established in 1998 in Dr. Whitten’s honor, recognizing outstanding teaching assistants within UGA’s chemistry department.

Raymond Davis is a University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas, Austin. He earned his B.S. at the University of Kansas in 1960, his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1965, and was a Cancer Research Scientist at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute from 1964 to 1968. Recognitions he has obtained include the Minnie Stevens Piper Professorship in 1992, the Jean Holloway Award in Chemistry Teaching in 1996, and receiving the Outstanding Teacher Award from campus freshman honor societies five times. He was among the inaugural members of the University’s Academy of Distinguished Teachers in 1995.

M. Larry Peck, Professor Emeritus at Texas A & M University, attained his Ph.D. from Montana State University in 1971. He was presented with the Chemical Manufacturers Association Catalyst Award in 2000, Texas A & M’s Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement Award in Chemistry Teaching in 2002, and the Department of Chemical Education’s Outstanding Service to the Department Award in 2007. Until his retirement in 2006, Dr. Peck offered science education at all levels and spearheaded initiatives aimed at enhancing the teaching of physical science programs, now identified in Texas as “integrated physics and chemistry.” The reference materials developed in these workshops are serving as models for other state-funded teacher training programs.

George Stanley, Cyril & Tutta Vetter Alumni Professor at Louisiana State University, secured his B.S. from the University of Rochester in 1975 and his Ph.D. from Texas A & M University in 1979. His extensive research background lies in inorganic chemistry. George has garnered several awards and recognitions, nationally and locally, including the NSF Special Creativity Award in 1994, the LSU Faculty Excellence in Science Teaching Award in 1995, the LSU College of Basic Sciences Center for Excellence in Science Teaching annually since 1997, and the Baton Rouge-ACS Charles E. Coates Award in 1999. He was recently designated the 2005-2006 TIAA-CREF Service Learning Fellow for his enduring commitment to service-learning programs at LSU.
