Problem-Solving Tutorials

The mission of this website is to help students review the math and chemistry fundamentals needed to solve calculations in first-year college Chemistry.  

From ChemReview Users --

An article about the Calculations in Chemistry tutorials has been published in the ACS Division of Chemical Education CCCE newsletter.  (see 4th article -- Beta Testing New Approaches For First-Year Instruction).

In a recent experiment at Rowan University (NJ), the ChemReview tutorials were assigned as homework to review fundamentals and prepare for lecture.  The course taught a year of General Chemistry on the schedule of a one semester course.  On the ACS General Chemistry Examination for the 2 semester course, students averaged at the 63rd percentile (versus the national ACS average 50th percentile). Details in Report here.

"This is a wonderful site that provides reviews in General and Introductory Chemistry topics."

"I have linked ChemReview to my web pages for general chem students. Your tutorial materials are extremely readable and the practice problems very well done.  I have suggested that students go to ChemReview in preference to other Chemistry problem books."

"I look forward to taking Chem tests.  That's how much I have improved!  The lessons improve my skills quickly. "

"ChemReview.Net is a site which you might find useful if you want more practice in problem solving.  It goes through strategies for different types of problems and gives additional practice."

"Your approach is well-organized, thorough, and student-friendly.  I prefer that my students use your site over any of the 'premium' publishers' sites.

I took my students out for pizza lunch where we worked through a set of your lessons.  They said it helped so much that this weekend will be our 3rd tutorial meeting. "

                                                       --         Dr. Aaron Fried

                                                                   Harbor College

"I relied heavily on your lessons to refresh my Chemistry education when I returned to school after 5 years.  It was thorough and the techniques were easy to remember.   I got an A, which put me in the top 5% of the class. "
