• Resumen

  • For most students, completing practice problems is an essential prerequisite for success in organic chemistry courses. Practice work, however, is sometimes perceived to be easier than or even not related to the types of chemistry that students see in assessments and “real-world” science. This negative view may contribute to a reduced level of engagement with course content and scientific learning practices. To combat this perception, a collection of introductory level-appropriate organic reactions bearing literature citations has been assembled and made available at RealOrganicChemistry.org. Portions of this collection were crowdsourced by introductory organic chemistry students through a three-part literature assignment intended for students reading the chemical literature for the first time. For students, RealOrganicChemistry.org is intended to provide a wealth of practice opportunities to complement conventional learning resources. For instructors, RealOrganicChemistry.org hosts a simple-to-complex range of reaction examples that are useful for literature-backed teaching efforts.
