From General to Organic Chemistry Courses and Curricula to Enhance Student Retention ACS Symposium Series

General and organic chemistry are part of many STEM majors and subsequent STEM careers. Student success in these (gatekeeping) courses can dramatically alter a student's path. This volume discusses courses and curricula designed to improve retention and lower the number of students receiving a D, F, or W in a course. Faculty, administrators, educational policy developers, and other readers will find effective interventions that can be applied at diverse institutions to increase student success in chemistry.
