A Chemical Information Assignment for Nonscience Majors
Pence, Laura E.
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n5 p764 May 2004
The specific types of chemical information appropriate for nonscience majors are described. The requirement of a practical use for the chemical information used in the assignment reduced students perception of the assignment as busy work and, more importantly, focused on the information that the students might find useful long after they complete the course.
