Science Success Strategies: An Interdisciplinary Course for Improving Science and Mathematics Education
Stephen A. Angel and Donna E. LaLonde
Departments of Chemistry and Mathematics and Statistics, Washburn University, Topeka, KS 66621

November 1998
Vol. 75 No. 11

Abstract
The diverse backgrounds and academic preparation of students attending an open-enrollment, urban university are not compatible with the traditions of college science and mathematics. An interdisciplinary course that attempts to equip potential science students from this population with requisite math and perception skills for success in the sciences is described. The course is co-taught by faculty from the chemistry and mathematics departments. Methods of instruction are sensitive to individual learning styles and aptitude. An important conclusion is that students' attitudes toward science are observed to play an essential role in their success in chemistry and their ability to adapt to a college chemistry culture.
