Inspiring Non-Chem Majors with
Real World Context & Gamification
Increase
Student Engagement
in Chemistry Courses
Following up on her recent ACS presentation, Dr. Addie Clark shares the myriad ways she answers her non-chem major students’ question:
Why do we have to learn this??
Addie offers impactful ways to engage those less-than-enthusiastic students through:
- Real-world context that shows chemistry in careers, pop culture, and every day life
- Project-based assignments that make chemistry relevant
- Interactive questions that gamify the learning experience
- Escape rooms activities that increase student engagement
