Chemistry Lessons Adapted to Create Better Retention for Various Learning Styles

Chemistry instructors know that not every student taking freshman chemistry plans on getting a degree in a chemistry-related field. Many need to fill credit requirements, but they must pass, and passing means they must understand the concepts from Lesson 1. It’s a progressive subject with each lesson and concept building on the previous. Unlike other classes, there’s no jumping ahead, or catching on later with chemistry. If you don’t understand from the start, it’s going to be very challenging.

It’s well known that people learn better when they are presented with information in a way they best retain it. For some, this is through reading. Others find the professor’s lectures sum it up well and they can take good notes. And for some students, being shown the concept and having the resources available to them unabridged is the only way things are going to make sense.

You want students to succeed and have a good understanding of the material. Trivedi Chemistry helps you extend your reach. With the right software, you can easily provide resources to help students learn and retain chemistry concepts they need to know. Our online video course and eBook presents the material in a digestible manner that students can access from anywhere on any device. Professors enjoy the innovative and customizable lessons, quizzes, and exams. We make it easier for you to teach so you can help more students overcome the challenges they face in class.

Freshman Chemistry Moves Fast

College freshman chemistry moves much faster than high school chemistry and goes into greater depth. Therefore, it’s much easier for students to fall behind quickly in their college chemistry classes.

Memorization Isn’t Enough

Unlike other classes, you can’t pass by memorization skills alone. Students must understand the basic foundational concepts and learn to solve problems to pass.

Chemistry Uses Math

You must be comfortable with math through algebra to work on chemistry problems. Geometry is also helpful, as is calculus. One of the reasons students struggle in freshman chemistry is they are learning (or re-learning) math at the same time they are learning chemistry concepts. For example, if a student gets stuck on unit conversions, it’s easy to fall behind.

Chemistry is its Own Language

You won’t understand chemistry until you understand the vocabulary. With 118 elements to learn, several new words, and the entire system of writing chemical equations, chemistry is very much its own language. There is so much more to chemistry than simply learning the concepts. You must also learn how to interpret and communicate the way chemistry is described.

There is a Lot to Learn with Chemistry

Chemistry is a vast discipline. You don’t just learn the basics and build on them, but frequently switch gears into new territory. Some concepts you learn and build on but there is always something new to throw in the mix, making it a lot to learn in a limited amount of time. While some memorization is required, students must also think hard to solve problems. For those not used to working through complex concepts, this level of brain flex can be overwhelming.

One Size Fits All Approach to Teaching

Since everyone has a different way of learning, students learn best if they can manipulate the material to suit their own learning style. Unfortunately, most traditional chemistry textbooks and semester formats don’t adapt to more than one way of teaching concepts. Many chemistry instructors teach their class the way they teach it, and students must adapt to that one way or get left behind.
