In recent years, significant strides have been made to further incorporate NMR spectroscopy throughout the undergraduate chemistry curriculum offered at Ashland University.   This presentation will focus on the presenter's use of NMR spectroscopy in three varied settings:  within a course offered for students with majors outside of the natural sciences, within the first course of the organic chemistry laboratory sequence, and in research efforts with undergraduates in the general area of polymer chemistry.  Specifically, spectral interpretation and acquisition in the non-majors course, the introduction of 2D-NMR spectroscopy within the first organic chemistry laboratory course, and the use of NMR spectral end-group analysis and No-D NMR spectroscopy for characterizing polymers and monitoring polymer coupling reactions will be described.
