Mount Mary College is a small urban women's college with both traditional age students and nontraditional aged students. The students in a one semester organic and biochemistry course are in the health sciences and have had one semester of general chemistry. The presentation will discuss the use of POGIL activities and comparisons of the grade distribution of POGIL and non-POGIL classes. For two years the POGIL classes showed a significant increase in grade distribution over the non-POGIL classes using Chi square.
