  2. One year of general chemistry is required for CEE 434: Water/Wastewater Engineering “…but I took that course three years ago!” “…but I barely got through the first time.” “I am in civil engineering. If I wanted to use chemistry, I’d be a chemical engineer. ...”

  3. Online Chemistry Review • Objectives • Provide structure and focus for self-guided chemistry review. • Provide practice problems. • Provide problems of higher complexity as used in CEE 434, linked back to topics in the review.

  4. Content Approach Text Past exams Study materials (Thank you, Kim Trick!) Skill 1 Skill 2 Meaning of standard symbols and terms

  5. Did we meet the objectives? • Provide structure and focus for self-guided chemistry review. • Self-guided, out of class meeting time? • Focused? • How well did it work?

  6. Did we meet the objectives? • Provide practice problems. • Students liked immediate feedback. • Students liked common errors feedback. • Requests for more. • Quiz results and student comments highlight areas that need more examples, more practice. • Students asked for course practice problems in this format.
