OrgoPrep
OrgoPrep
Are you looking to strengthen your understanding of Chemistry course content?
OrgoPrep has been designed with the students in mind, and has been shown to significantly increase student outcomes in Organic Chemistry (CAS CH203, CH211). The program occurs in late Summer, just before the start of Organic Chemistry. It features a hybrid self-study and live webinar format. OrgoPrep is designed to bridge the gap between the completion of General Chemistry 2 and the beginning of Organic Chemistry 1. OrgoPrep is collaboration between the Chemistry Education teams and the Educational Resource Center; the cohorts are led by an experienced undergraduate peer mentor who has been trained by the Chemistry education faculty and ERC staff. The result is a one-of-a-kind program, based on both students’ needs and advanced pedagogical tools. (And it’s completely free for BU students!)
The Educational Resource Center would like to acknowledge the support provided by Boston University’s Shipley Center for Digital Learning & Innovation for this Chemistry Active-learning Resources for Educators (CARE) project. The Orgo Prep program has been overwhelmingly successful thanks, in part, to the CARE videos created with the Shipley Center’s support and guidance.
