Sosa, Giovanni – RP Group, 2022
The first step to addressing equity gaps is to identify them. How can community colleges determine, with some degree of certainty, whether one or more student groups on a campus is in need of assistance in order to succeed? This paper tackles this question by delving into the three methods typically used to identify equity gaps, comparing and…

Larsen, Russell D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1985
Box-and-whisker plots (which give rapid visualization of batches of data) can be effectively used to present diverse collections of data used in traditional first-year chemistry courses. Construction of box-and-whisker plots and their use with bond energy data and data on heats of formation and solution are discussed. (JN)

Rigbi, Zvi – Journal of Chemical Education, 1985
It is not conceivable that in a mixture or compound a component may exist in a negative ratio. Traditionally, therefore, a negative value could not be plotted on triangular coordinates. However, negative values are explicitly allowed, and the results extend the use of triangular coordinates as shown in this article. (JN)
