Davis Todd.davis@usafa.edu 1 Department of Chemistry, U. S. Air Force Academy, Academy, CO 80840, USA Student engaged learning has been at the forefront of chemical education for the past several decades. Improving student engagement leads to increased retention of information being presented in lecture and laboratory-based settings. With this goal in mind, three laboratory-based learning modules were developed to address difficult learning areas in organic chemistry (acid/base/extractions, substitution reactions, and aromaticity). These data-driven modules focus on students using critical thinking skills to analyze data and answer guided questions in these trouble areas. The implementation of modules and an evaluation of effectiveness are presented. http://pubs.sciepub.com/wjce/10/2/3/wjce-10-2-3.pdf organic chemistry lab-based learning modules data analysis
