Abstract:
The University of Auckland invited applications to participate in a project trialing the use of ‘personal response systems’. A chemistry course, which is a component of the Tertiary Foundation Certificate (TFC) program, participated in the trial in the second semester of 2009. The TFC program at the University of Auckland is a well established, two semester bridging program for students who do not meet university entry requirements. On satisfactory completion of the TFC program students can enroll in degree programs. TFC students electing to include chemistry in their TFC program take a chemistry course in each semester.
