• Resumen

  • The Workshop Chemistry model embraces dimensions of student experience that are essential for learning: the freedom to discuss and debate chemistry in a challenging but supportive environment, the connection to mentors, and the power of working as part of a team. The workshop model calls for the traditional recitation, or a modest amount of lecture, to be replaced by a new curricular structure: a two-hour student-led workshop. In the first two and a half years of the project, more than 6000 students have participated in workshop courses in allied health, general, and organic chemistry, conducted by 27 faculty and more than 800 workshop leaders.
