through challenging problems that are designed to be solved cooperatively. The peer leaders are trained to ensure that the users are actively and productively engaged with the material and with each other. This methodology offers a number of educational opportunities: the supportive format encourages questions and discussions that lead to conceptual understanding; users learn to work in teams and to communicate more effectively; peer leaders learn teaching and group management skills. This workbook features hundreds of class-tested problems at a variety of levels. These problems cover the core areas of the typical general chemistry course and can be used as-is or adapted by instructors. Perfect for anyone who is interested in supplemental instruction/cooperative learning/peer-led workshops/collaborative learning.
