Christopher F. Bauer is a Professor and Chair of Chemistry at the University of New Hampshire. He is the 1992 recipient of the University's Jean Brierley teaching award. His research interests address college-level instruction -- student misconceptions, student attitudes about learning and courses, discovery-based college chemistry curricula, and faculty beliefs and practice. He has designed and presented many workshops for elementary and secondary teachers, was a senior staff instructor for two National Science Foundation teacher/school development projects in New Hampshire, and helped develop the NH State Science Frameworks and Assessment. He directs the General Chemistry program at UNH, teaches in the Preparing Future Faculty program, and advises graduate and undergraduate students pursuing teaching careers. He led an NSF project "Integrating the Chemistry Systemic Initiatives", exploring how to improve student outcomes in a large general chemistry course by promoting construction, visualization, and articulation of chemical ideas.Selected PublicationsC.
