Monica Baloga
Florida Institute of Technology
Melbourne, FL“MasteringChemistry has made my office hours much more efficient. The detailed gradebook helps me identify exactly where a student is struggling, so we can focus on a specific conceptual misunderstanding, rather than an entire topic.”

Thomas Dowd
Harper College
Palatine, IL“MasteringChemistry has enhanced my students' comprehension of chemistry concepts.”

Margie Haak
Oregon State University
Corvallis, OR“The most telling moment was when several of my first term students stopped by my office half way through their second term class, taught by another faculty member who did not use MasteringChemistry. They wanted me to know that, as much as they had complained about doing the MasteringChemistry assignments in my class, NOW they realized how much MasteringChemistry had helped them learn chemistry.”

Monte Helm
Fort Lewis College
Durango, CO“Initially skeptical of using online homework systems, I was swayed by my students, 90% of whom chose 'online' as their preferred homework delivery option. The students love MasteringChemistry's instant feedback and the opportunity to get hints when they get stuck. Students see this as a valuable tool that allows them to be more independent when working traditional problems from the text.”

Tom Kim
Rochester Institute of Technology
Rochester, NY“MasteringChemistry allows me to assign homework with both the depth and regularity that I could never have managed before with my large lecture sections. The frequent assessments have increased the amount of time that students spend working on chemistry outside of class. The feedback interface allows me to address most student questions almost immediately, rather than struggling to find a time to discuss it in person.”

Tom McGrath
Baylor University
Waco, TX“I almost don't need office hours any more-- students seem to get so much out of Mastering Chemistry that they no longer come to see ME!”

Bob Pribush
Butler University
Indianapolis, IN“MasteringChemistry has had a dramatic impact on the way my students learn. Virtually every student in my class credited MasteringChemistry for enhancing their understanding of general chemistry as well as helping them earn better grades.”
-
Tricia Shepherd
Westminster College
Salt Lake City, UT“The best feature of MasteringChemistry for both my students and myself is the immediate feedback we can use for assessment! Students can actually determine what they do not understand, figure out what they did wrong, and fix it immediately rather than waiting days or weeks for graded feedback.”

Ann Verner
University of Toronto at Scarborough
Toronto, Canada“MasteringChemistry is the best online chemistry homework program that I have used. The structure of the questions and the hints motivate the students to continue working on the problems, and the immediate feedback increases their confidence.”

Klaus Woelk
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Rolla, MO“We let students discuss the MasteringChemistry problems in peer learning centers, which is a great way to enhance study skills and conceptual understanding.”
