Undergraduate Oral Examinations in a University Organic Chemistry Curriculum

Abstract: This article describes the successful implementation of an oral examination format in the organic chemistry curriculum at the University of Toronto. Oral examinations are used to replace traditional written midterm examinations in several courses. In an introductory organic class, each student is allotted 15 min to individually discuss one pre-selected "named" reaction with the course instructors. To stimulate further learning, students must choose a particular reaction that has not been presented during lectu… Show more

“…Students' Learning Outcome Development Figure 2 clearly shows that the process of development of students' learning outcomes based on their learning styles, in which almost all (77,5%) learning types experience increasing development of learning outcomes (+) except for the naturalist and interpersonal learning styles. In line with the research that has been done by Dicks [3], the implementation of several methods on organic chemistry course can increase the interest. The Sorogan-Bandongan model is categorized into individual learning so it is very centered on the student, like the research that has been done by Franz [4], as much as 77,5% of the student experience increase in the learning result.…”

“…Course materials also influence the study result of the student, and in organic chemistry course several methods that can increase attention [3], more effective lectures, involving creative student, centered on student, increasing the use of technology [4], increasing the passion in learning [5], increasing the performance capabilities [6] should be implemented. This can be done with oral examination, giving assignments, arrangement of classroom, development of syllabus, quiz, power point presentation using IT [7] and integrated lectures [8,9], to be able to increase learning prestige and increase the awareness in designing and synthesizing natural organic chemistry [10].…”

“…Kesulitan-kesulitan dalam mempelajari mekanisme reaksi substitusi nukleofilik diantaranya dalam hal penentu reaksi dan keadaan transisi (Tastan, 2010). Kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut dapat diatasi dengan mengimplementasikan beberapa metode dalam perkuliahan mekanisme reaksi, sehingga dapat meningkatkan perhatian (Dicks et al, 2012), melibatkan mahasiswa, berpusat pada mahasiswa (Franz, 2011), meningkatkan semangat belajar (Parker et al, 2012), meningkatkan kemampuan kinerja (Muthyala, 2012), dan percaya diri (Collison, 2012). Metode-metode tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian tugas rumah, penataan ruang kelas, pengembangan silabus, soal kuis (Aldahmash, 2009) dan perkuliahan terpadu (Giinersel, 2013;Kenzie, 2012).…”
