First-year students who already plan to major in chemistry don’t require any special bells or whistles to motivate them to study the subject. But introductory chemistry is a required subject for all students at MIT, regardless of their intended major, and materials scientist Jeffrey Grossman has found that for many students in his course 3.091 Introduction to Solid State Chemistry, the subject becomes much more accessible if he takes conscious steps to make it real for them. He does this both inside and outside the classroom. First, he makes sure that part of each lecture he delivers explores the connection between the topic of the lecture and his students’ actual experience. Second, he gives students the chance to play around with real-world materials so they can learn the principles of chemistry firsthand. As Professor Grossman explains in this episode, it was by playing around with materials that the very first chemists began to learn about matter and its properties, and this kind of basic experimentation has an inherently multisensory quality that deepens and enriches students’ understanding of the concepts they learn.Relevant Resources:MIT OpenCourseWareThe OCW Educator Portal Professor Grossman’s course on OCWProfessor Grossman’s faculty pageMIT’s General Institute Requirements (GIRs)“Plenty of Room at the Bottom” (PDF) (Richard Feynman’s lecture on atomic-scale engineering)Music in this episode by Blue Dot SessionsConnect with UsIf you have a suggestion for a new episode or have used OCW to change your life or those of others, tell us your story.

Making Solid State Chemistry Matter (Prof. Jeffrey Grossman)

Jeffrey Grossman graduated with a B.S. in communication and advertising, but after working for both small and large advertising agencies for 15 years, he stumbled upon an epiphany. Jeffrey was tired of working for somebody else. He wanted to be a master of his own domain and set his own work hours. So, what did he do? He quit and studied acupuncture, and later opened his own practice. However, that was only the beginning of the journey. Find out more about Jeffrey’s struggles and successes on this week’s episode.   Key Insights &amp; Aha Moments: *If you told Jeffrey he’d be living in Hawaii 6 years ago, he’d wouldn’t have believed you. *So, who is Jeffrey? Jeffrey works as an acupuncturist, but no longer has his brick and mortar practice. *How did Jeffrey get into acupuncture if he has a background in advertising and marketing? *What has contributed to Jeffrey’s success over the years? *Jeffrey spent $15,000 on his first mentor/coach. He has since spent over $100,000 on mentors, and it has been worth every penny. *Before getting a coach, Jeffrey was spinning his wheels and getting NOWHERE! *As health and wellness practitioners, we’ve seen the amazing benefits of our work, so why should we keep that message to ourselves? *You can’t do what you’re the best at, if you don’t have clients coming in! This is why a business and risk-taking mindset has to come first! *By the way, not everybody is cut out to own a clinic. That lifestyle or business model may not be for you, and that’s absolutely okay! *When we work with other people, we’re not alone, and our struggles become easier to manage. *If you want success in your business, you have to set both long-term and short-term goals! *Remember, success doesn’t happen overnight! *Jeffrey will be hosting an online event this October 31st. Find out more about the AOM Summit 2016 towards the end of the interview!   Maven Moment: Jeffrey’s interview was great, especially about working with other wellness practitioners to help share a bit of the burden of what you’re going through. It made me think back to when I was first starting my own business. If I had an extra $400, where would I have spent it? Looking back and knowing what I know now, I would invest a chunk of my money on professional photos. Why? Because they go such a long way to presenting a respective and trustworthy image of yourself for future clients.
