Chemistry,Poetry,and Artistic Illustration:An Interdisciplinary Approach to Teaching and Promoting Chemistry

摘要

The first-year general chemistry classes are often viewed by students as stressful and demanding.Students are typically required to take notes in class,do homework to help master the class content,and take weekly quizzes,tests,and finals to measure their class understanding.The correct solutions to problems are usually standard and lack variation.Although this conventional way of learning is essential for students to gain important chemical skills,we believe that some personal and creative experiences may not only help the students enjoy chemistry but also add to their ability to learn the material.
