Comprehensive Program Simplifies Freshman Chemistry for Proficiency in Concepts

Freshman chemistry is often seen as one of the most challenging courses for students pursuing a science-related major. The course is notoriously difficult, with many students struggling to understand the fundamental concepts and principles of chemistry. However, with the right strategies and an innovative approach, students can pass this course successfully.

Getting to the Root of the Problem

Lecture-style settings typically found in Freshman Chemistry classrooms provide instructors with an opportunity to efficiently present a large amount of information to a large number of students. For some, this learning environment works well, but for others, the lack of active involvement in the learning process leads to low information retention rates.

Students are receiving the information, but they may not be thinking through the concepts as they are presented with them. This can result in a disconnect from what they are learning and what they actually understand.

When students unconsciously take this passive approach to learning Chemistry, it can interfere with their ability to progress. Unlike other subjects, Chemistry requires students to understand concepts-not just memorize them-in a progressive way. Each lesson builds on the previous one. The ability to adapt Chemistry lessons in a way that meets the needs of different learning styles simultaneously can be a challenge in a traditional college classroom.

To further complicate things, many students have a hard time learning how to become fluent in the language of Chemistry. Instead of successfully conceptualizing the technical terms used, they assign everyday meanings to convey the concept. This creates an unassuming roadblock to their studies. They think they know what they are learning, but in fact are falling short of understanding what they need to know to move forward.

A Progressive, Logical, and Abstract Challenge

Freshman Chemistry is a perplexing and abstract science that involves many concepts that are difficult to visualize. Students are required to understand and apply principles of atomic structure, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions, among others.

Chemistry involves a significant amount of complex mathematical calculations. Students must be proficient in algebra, geometry, and calculus to understand the concepts and equations in chemistry. This can be overwhelmingly challenging for some students. If they lack a solid understanding of these subjects, they will have a hard time keeping up with the pace of this course.
