CHED 877 |
| The Chemistry of Color is a freshman-level, non-majors course designed to provide useful knowledge of chemistry and chemical history for students who do not academically require the typical content of a General Chemistry course. Since no one text exists for courses of this type all of the materials have been adapted from similar courses, refined from general art resources, or developed locally. This course was presented as a typical lecture twice and once in POGIL format. The typical student population includes visual and performing arts majors and majors from other non-technical fields. It was discovered, in contrast to many majors in technical fields, that most students taking this course were highly adaptable and willing to participate in the POGIL experience. The course content and structure will be briefly outlined. Student outcomes in lecture and POGIL classes will be compared. Student perceptions of POGIL will be discussed. |
