Commentary
Introductory Chemistry Needs a Revolution. ACS and IUPAC and AAAS and ICUC Should Lead It
Stephen J. Hawkes
Department of Chemistry, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-4003

November 2005
Vol. 82 No. 11
p. 1615
Abstract
The customary curriculum of introductory chemistry is not supported by evidnece. It does not serve the needs of most students. A prestigious body such as ACS or IUPAC or AAAS or ICUC should initiate reform and follow it up aggressively.
Supplement
The title page, table of contents, introduction, and list of participants that appear in the document, New Directions in the Chemistry Curriculum, Proceedings of an International Conference on Introductory Chemistry, are available.

The listing of the nine common textbook errors, A Plethora of General Chemistry Textbook Errors by Donald B. Alger, is also available.
