CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society (ACS), recently announced a complimentary beta version of Chemistry Class Advantage, a new learning solution for undergraduate organic chemistry students.
Organised by topics taught in the classroom, Chemistry Class Advantage harnesses the power of SciFinder and research published in journal articles to help teach organic chemistry students to learn chemistry by critically evaluating the research literature. Chemistry Class Advantage will help faculty instruct students to: refine their understanding of the organic chemistry topics being studied in class; review real-world reactions that illustrate the empirical nature of chemistry; leverage published research to learn critical aspects of organic chemistry; and critically read and evaluate research literature.
After a successful spring pilot with faculty and students, CAS is now providing free access to the beta version of Chemistry Class Advantage to faculty teaching undergraduate organic chemistry this fall. As an added benefit, all students participating in the fall beta are eligible to receive a complimentary one-year student membership in the ACS.
To participate, interested faculty may send an email request to ochem@cas.org with a subject line 'Chemistry Class Advantage Beta.'
