Direct linkJardine, Hannah E.; Friedman, Lee A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
In this study, we describe a course to educate and prepare undergraduate "facilitators" for small group problem solving sessions in a large, first semester, introductory undergraduate organic chemistry course. We then explore the outcomes of the facilitator experience for one cohort of facilitators through qualitative analysis of written…
