| Professor Paul B. Kelter Marie Foscue Rourk Professor of Chemistry University of North Carolina - Greensboro, Greensboro, NC 27410 pbkelter@uncg.edu or paulkelter@yahoo.com |
General chemistry is a course that serves a vast and diverse student audience. Deciding what students need to know upon finishing the course is difficult because the audience is so varied. For example, how are the needs of pre-medical and pre-health students different from those of agriculture majors? What does the chemical industry think that students ought to know? What is needed for the one-semester vs. two-semester course? How do faculty define a student "need" vs. a faculty "preference" in the curriculum? What are some creative ways of dealing with diverse needs?
