TEACHING
Over his career, professor Aakeroy has taught a broad range of courses spanning the chemistry curriculum, including:
General Chemistry (introductory level)
Organic and structural chemistry concepts
Inorganic and supramolecular chemistry (upper-level and graduate)
At Kansas State University, he has been particularly associated with foundational undergraduate courses (e.g., large-enrollment general chemistry) as well as advanced and specialized topics aligned with his research expertise, helping bridge core principles with contemporary chemical science. Evidence from course listings and student reports indicates involvement in courses such as CHEM 220/230 and graduate instruction tied to crystal engineering and molecular design.
His impact in the classroom has been formally recognized with major teaching honors, including the Presidential Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching at Kansas State University. This award reflects both sustained excellence and a strong commitment to undergraduate education.
