Abstract

A studio General Chemistry program as part of a school mandate to replace large lectures in all first-year courses by small studio classes (maximum of 60 students) that integrate the class, recitation, and laboratory experience. Hallmarks of this approach include focusing on the student as a problem solver and facilitating cooperative learning via group interactions.
