Both the representational formats, and the work on student misconceptions, served as framework for a team of chemical educators to develop a general chemistry standardized exam focused on conceptual understanding that is now available from the ACS Examinations Institute. Several of the item formats ...
*S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: We developed an online exam to diagnose students who are underprepared for college-level general chemistry and implemented a program to support them during the general chemistry sequence. This transition program consists of extended-length recitations, peer-led team-...
Keywords: General Chemistry; homework tutor; quantitative reasoning Introduction Learning to solve quantitative problems in college chemistry courses is a challenge for many students (Gulacar & Fynewever, 2010). Students have to integrate general problem-solving skills, chemical insight, unit algebra and...

Pre- and post-survey data suggest that a first-semester chemistry course that incorporates systems thinking does not induce significant positive changes in students' motivation. End-of-the-semester motivation and attitude levels were correlated with students' ACS exam scores, where students with higher...
