JCE offers a wealth of materials for teaching and learning chemistry that you can explore at our Web site. In the list below, Xavier Prat-Resina and Bernadette A. Caldwell of the Editorial Staff suggest topical resources that are available through JCE.
Incorporating Computational Molecular Modeling in Organic Chemistry Coursework and Laboratories
The article “Integrating Computational Molecular Modeling into the Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Curriculum” provides example topics, sequencing, and instructional strategies for successfully using molecular modeling to teach organic chemistry. In addition to the references cited in this article, the Journal has published many resources on computational molecular modeling, and on using this approach with organic chemistry. Here is a sampling of what is available.
