• Resumen

  • The enhancement of faculty understanding of students through student letter writing is explored. Two short letter-writing assignments are described and their value in the teaching process is outlined. An argument is presented for gaining a realistic picture of who our students are so as to enrich our communication and teaching effectiveness in the classroom. The letter-writing assignments were made in an organic chemistry lecture setting, but could be applied throughout a chemical curriculum, at the high school and at the university level.
