MAILING LISTS

Richard,

In reference to your question "Does anyone use this teaching  
chemistry at any level...?" I refer you to Frank Dinan's article "An  
Alternative to Lecturing in the Sciences," pp. 97-104, in Team-Based  
Learning: A Transformative Use of Small Groups in College Teaching".  
Frank is a seasoned teacher at Canisius College in New York where he  
is a Professor of Organic Chemistry. He also has an extensive  
background in industry. Following 25 years of teaching using the  
lecture method he made a complete change to team-based learning  
adjusted for his course and population, and has never looked back.
