Peer-Led Team Learning: Organic Chemistry

0/5 ( ratings)

This unique book explains the theory behind peer-led team learning, offers suggestions for successful implementation , discusses how to evaluate the success of the program, and answers frequently asked questions.
It is designed as a workbook, to be used as the central focus of activity in a PLTL Workshop in organic chemistry. It is not a drill book, nor is it a self-contained guided inquiry book. As with the Workshops themselves, this book is intended to be a companion to a textbook in a lecture course. The Workshop problems are challenging, and readers need to prepare for them by studying the book, the lectures, and by working the end-of-chapter problems ahead of Workshop time.
