Our book chapter has been accepted for publication by the RSC for the Advances in Chemistry Education Series! Congrats to Lyniesha, Fridah, and Julia!

Our book chapter “Representational competence under the magnifying glass: The interplay between student reasoning skills, conceptual understanding, and the nature of representations” has been accepted for publication in the “Reasoning in Organic Chemistry” book that will be published by the Royal Society of Chemistry! Both reviewers rated our work as at the top 25% when it comes to the quality and both said “accept as is” with one of the reviewers giving only a couple of minor suggestions for revision! :grinning:

Below are the research questions that we answer in this book chapter:

  1. How do organic chemistry students reason while interpreting, translating, using, and generating dash-wedge diagrams and Newman projections?
  2. How does student reasoning compare with their ability to accurately complete tasks associated with interpreting, translating, using, and generating dash-wedge diagrams and Newman projections?

Congrats to Lyniesha, Fridah, and Julia! :tada::partying_face::grinning:
