STUDENT COMMENTS
“Prof. Attygalle is an excellent instructor. He is
very good about presenting nuanced concepts by pointing to what is important
to
know”
Ian Knemeyer, Schering Plough Corp, Fall 2003
“
Dr. Attygalle delivers organized and clear lectures in class. Though
the class is not easy, I look forward to the challenges Dr. Attygalle presents
in class. The majority of the material that Dr. Attygalle covers, cannot
be found in other sources”
Deborah L. Shanks, Fall 2003
“
This course was a very good introduction into modern methods of Mass Spec. We covered a lot of topics in a short amount of time. I think I have a good feel for what types of mass spectrometry are available and what techniques can be used to detect certain molecules as well as derive structural information. I think the take home quizzes provided helpful practice in practical problem solving. The content of the course was very up-to-date and provided analysis of relevant molecules in today's biochemical/Pharmaceutical applications. The handouts were very helpful, I can't imagine trying to write everything down. The in-class animations were well prepared and provided a useful demonstration

“
Overall, I feel that this course was extremely helpful to my understanding
of MS analysis. The concepts were delivered in a clear, concise, and
best of all, an entertaining manner. I thoroughly enjoyed attending
the lectures”
Carol Dragland, Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp, Fall 2003
“
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who likes to independently
run a MS and interpret the results”
Mirlinda Biba, Merck Phamaceuticals
“It’s been a long time since I took such a useful course in chemistry”
Julius Pavlv, Nicoll Lab, Fall 2002
“
This course well met beyond my expectations. Every lecture covered
an extremely important aspect of mass spectrometry in one form or another. The
instructor was able to captivate the essential features in every mass spectrometric
technique and application. For example, the lab classes provided hand
on experience that facilitated learning of the different types of mass spectrometers. Also,
learning how to critique usage of mass spectrometric terms helped develop
a better understanding of accurate definitions and more concise writing.
I have attended many mass spectrometry seminars and short courses. When
compared with the widely publicized ACS short course for introduction to
mass spectrometry, this course is no comparison. The ACS short course
only provides an introduction that leaves you with knowing that mass spectrometry
is a diverse topic. After completing the ACS short course, you don’t
leave with necessary tools to further learn. The Modern
Mass Spectrometry course at Stevens Institute of Technology teaches
the fundamentals and ensures
that you leave the course with the knowledge to learn further”

Wong, Pfizer, Inc., Fall 2002
“The course will be very helpful for my job, because I am doing
drug metabolite identification using LC/MS/MS.” “I would like
to tell you that the class, Modern mass spectrometer, is very very helpful
for my job, identification
of drug metabolites. Before I did not know why and where the
molecule should be broken when we run MSMS. Also I didn’t know how
and why my supervisor drawn the fragment structure and charge site like that.
Right now I understand
all of them, I am very happy I did right thing to take this class”
Jiansheng
Huang, Hoffmann-La Roche
“
I am very glad that I attended this course. As an analytical chemist I found
this course very useful in providing up to date knowledge of mass spectrometry
theory and techniques. The “Even Electron Fragmentation Mechanism” which
is the core of Electrospray, MAldI, and FAB MS couldn’t
be found in any published text book. The professor with strong
experience and background
of the subjects provided an excellent visual and animation materials
and slides which helped in delivering the concepts more easily”
Najeh Kharbatia, ISP Corp, Fall 2003
“
A real graduate-level course which helped me to enhance all my skills”
Sheetal
S. Rao, Fall 2002
“
..it is a fast paced course covering tons of material..
”
Demis Ros, 2005
“
Without an extremely strong background in organic chemistry, nor previous experience with MS, I was able to follow and apply most of the subject area we covered
”
Gretel Raibeck, US Army, 2005
“
I am glad to have taken this course because I am able to converse with PhD's at work and fully understand their explanations
”
Brain Tiu, Schering Plough Corp, 2005
“
The course was excellent. Anyone considering a carrier in Organic or analytical chemistry should definitely take this course
”
