Chemistry Problem Solving Skills

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

This is a one-credit course taught in tandem with the chemistry lecture. The aims of this course are to provide students with the tools to learn organic chemistry, and to build a community of learners through collective engagement with the material of organic chemistry. Topics include how to use the textbook effectively in concert with lecture, note-taking and engagement in lecture, how to study effectively in groups and by oneself, visualization of chemical structures in three-dimensions, how to sift through extraneous information to zero in on essential information, and how to build conceptual models and use them to analyze problems.
