In 2016, with the help of Science Education Specialist Dr. Jane Maxwell, I developed a “Choice Project” for use in Organic Chemistry for the Biological Sciences (CHEM 233). This assignment was inspired by the “writing to learn” concept and aims to provide an opportunity for students to connect course content to their own interests. Additionally, […]
Ian Park, an undergraduate student enrolled in CHEM 445: Research Learning Experience, provided an overview of his project. His main project goal is to use Alchemy to deliver practice exam content to Chemistry 233 students. Alchemy is an online learning tool that develops students’ critical thinking and decision making skills, and has powerful feedback capabilities. […]
Years ago, UBC’s non-majors Organic Chemistry course, CHEM 233, used to strike fear in the hearts of undergraduates. However, Ubyssey reporter and recent CHEM 233 student Rocio Hollmann suggests that recent changes to the course, including the adoption of a “flipped” learning sequence, have rendered that reputation obsolete. “There have been many changes to get CHEM 233 […]
Editor’s note: This guest post comes from Amber Richardson, a UBC chemistry undergraduate who spent part of the past year researching study strategies for organic chemistry. One of the products of her research is a fantastic study guide! Students interested in using the guide can download a copy for personal use (not for distribution) here: Richardson 2015 […]
