The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry has developed and implemented a writing-intensive, second-semester, introductory advanced Chemistry course based on writing across the curriculum (WAC) model, CHMC 2051. This 6-credit course, offered during the spring semester, combines the objectives and requirements of both the second-semester college writing course and introductory chemistry courses. It was designed in an effort to improve students' conceptual understanding of chemical principles, writing abilities, and student interest and retention. The goals for this project include:
