Irosha N. Nawarathne – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Organic chemistry has been stigmatized as an unduly challenging subject throughout history. However, some undergraduate students excel in the subject when they attempt to understand the content rather than routine memorization. It is evident that rote memorization, a primary result of a student failing to understand the relevance of the material,…

Adrienne M. Pesce; Daniel B. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Novice chemists often struggle with the highly visual nature of some chemistry topics. To make visually demanding concepts, such as isomerism and stereochemistry, more accessible to students, chemistry instructors have long recommended the use of molecular model kits as visual aids. However, studies pertaining to student model usage have shown…

Bin Du; Jialing Guo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Academic misconduct is a serious issue among college students, and integrating academic ethics into major courses is expected to help prevent, dissuade, and respond to this issue. With the widespread adoption of flipped classrooms in higher education, it is necessary to explore effective ways to integrate academic ethics into flipped major…

Swalve, Natashia; Harwood, Amanda; Calhoun, Eric S. – College Teaching, 2021
Demand for STEM majors is increasing, yet attrition in STEM classes is common. Exam wrappers and asking students to write on test anxiety have both been shown to be somewhat successful as simple interventions. This study examined the impact of exam wrappers (termed a post-exam wrapper) that specifically included a multiple-choice question about…
