JCE offers a wealth of materials for teaching and learning chemistry. Below are some additional resources for teaching organic chemistry suggested by Arrietta Clauss of the Editorial Staff that are available through JCE.

Vosburg developed a novel organic course utilizing a student-centered approach that fostered independent critical evaluation of organic synthesis. The Journal has published other articles focused on course development to provide the student with an independent self-directed component. Four additional articles are given below.

A New Model for Transitioning Students from the Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory to the Research Laboratory. The Evolution of an Intermediate Organic Synthesis Laboratory Course. Jessica J. Hollenbeck, Emily N. Wixson, Grant D. Geske, Matthew W. Dodge, T. Andrew Tseng, Allen D. Clauss, and Helen E. Blackwell. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 1835.

Two-Cycle Organic Chemistry and the Student-Designed Research Lab. Dennis J. Gravert. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 898.

Instrumental Proficiency Program for Undergraduates. Duane E. Weisshaar, Gary W. Earl, Milton P. Hanson, Arlen E. Viste, R. Roy Kintner, and Jetty L. Duffy-Matzner. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 898.
