Hosted by Anna C. Curtis and Carribeth Bliem
Tuesday, March 18th at 2pm ET
Join the new co-authors of "Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach," Anna C. Curtis and Carribeth Bliem, for a talk about how they utilize the the text and how their classes shaped their contributions for the new edition. In this session, they will discuss their choice to implement an atoms-first strategy in their general chemistry classes, highlighting how the Gilbert text has been instrumental in enhancing students' comprehension of key chemistry concepts. They will also discuss their contributions to the new edition, which include:
- Improved integration of career contexts
- Stepwise figures designed for improved clarity
- ChemTours: Guided Inquiry

Bridging the Achievement Gap in Organic Chemistry with Joel Karty
Organic Chemistry is plagued by a significant achievement gap among students entering the course, and left unchecked, that achievement gap can lead to high DFW rates for underrepresented populations.
In this workshop, Joel Karty will take instructors through the three-pronged approach that he's adopted to promote equity in his Organic Chemistry courses: (1) A mechanistic organization, (2) A flipped classroom that incorporates videos embedded in the textbook for pre-class preparation, and Smartwork for in-class mechanism problems, and (3) specifications grading.
