Chemistry
─
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. "
