Our fundamental approach changes:

• The inclination for students to try and memorize specific reactions without understanding how each works.


• The tendency for students to compartmentalize information.


• The difficulty of getting students to retain information in long-term memory.


• The inability of students to apply organic chemistry principles to reactions not covered in class.


• The tendency for students to show a poor understanding of how to apply fundamentals.


• The tendency for students to not develop or engage critical thinking and analysis skills.
