In 1989, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan eliminated its year-long General Chemistry course. Well over 50,000 students later, the department has remained committed and enthusiastic to this program, and continues to pursue ways to improve and advance its undergraduate teaching. In this session, we will review some of our most successful second-generation innovations with our introductory program, and look at possible future directions.
