In a large general chemistry class it is important to generate good communication between students and teacher. Ideally there should be instantaneous feedback between the student and professor. One tool to help improve communication and class attention is the "One-Minute Paper". A One Minute Paper given at the end of each lecture has been proposed as a tool to provide active learning in the classroom. This paper describes and evaluates the technique based on its use in a typical general chemistry class at a major university over the past five years.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
