| Abstract |
|
Responses to a Web-based survey help assess the degree of utilization and implementation of a variety of computer technologies in undergraduate physical chemistry. Respondents can indicate whether use of symbolic math software, spreadsheets, molecular modeling software, computer programming skills, graphing calculators, Web resources, and simulation software is required or recommended for the lecture or laboratory components of thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum chemistry, and spectroscopy. The survey results give physical chemistry teachers a general indication of how some of their colleagues use computers; such information can be of assistance to both beginning and experienced teachers as they make decisions for their own courses regarding computer use.
