Revisiting the Organic Chemistry Curriculum [2YC3 Regional Meeting] | |||
| In recent years, the majority of students taking organic chemistry courses are less likely to become chemistry majors than to pursue careers in health or environment related fields, such as dentistry, pharmacy, medicine, nutrition, physical therapy, environmental science, biochemistry, etc. In addition, the proliferation of online courses is changing the way chemistry is taught in many places. A discussion on how to keep up with these new trends without compromising the learning process so central to this discipline should be of paramount importance to all educators. The symposium is an invitation to share new and interesting ideas, approaches to teaching as well as concerns about the future of organic chemistry. | |||
