The present study is part of a series of evaluations done on student learning processes in organic chemistry. In a previous study, students' knowledge after completion of the introductory organic chemistry course was assessed using a multiple-choice exercise. The results of that study showed that 83% of the students tested were able to give a description of the problem presented, analyze it, and establish partial relationships among its elements, with 27% of those students succeeding in making a partial synthesis of the information as well (1).
