Embedded examination items for assessment.   In Spring 2004, ten items from the ACS General Chemistry Examination were embedded in the final examination of General Chemistry II. 

Summary of results 

ACS examination items tracked to show effectiveness of “two cycle” strategy in Organic Chemistry (322).   In the Spring Semesters of 2001-2004, a “two-cycle” strategy for teaching Organic Chemistry was evaluated using 24 items from the standardized ACS Organic Chemistry examination.  Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant increase in student performance following the implementation of the two-cycle strategy.
