1. Progress Toward the Synthesis of Vancosamine Using a Tandem [4+2]/[3+2] Cycloaddition. 2. Discussion Boards and Pre-Lecture Quizzes in Organic Chemistry Courses

Abstract

dc:description

Format and number of attempts were varied in online pre-lecture quizzes administered to a first semester non-majors organic chemistry lecture course. Student quiz performance and post-quiz assessment shows significant differences in mastery of material and class preparedness with format and number of attempts. When combined with student survey data, recommendations are made as to how format selection and number of attempts can optimize the value of online pre-lecture quizzes as a learning tool and as an assessment tool.
