On April 4th, CSIE|UM hosted Professor Jeff Moore from the University of Illinois to discuss his work on designing a new organic chemistry course.

Prof. Moore described the philosophy behind the fully web-based course and shared some of the advantages/disadvantages of the curriculum. For example, he explained how the web-based course made it easier to grade exams, but made it harder for students without self-discipline to remain up-to-date with the material.

Overall, attendees learned about the care that must go into courses to make them efficient and fruitful for students taking the courses.
