Peer reviewedSawrey, Barbara A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1990
Compared in this research was the performance of students on numerical versus conceptual chemistry problems at the introductory college level. Separate analyses were done to compare high and low achievers. It was shown that even the upper group of achievers had difficulty with concept questions. (CW)
