OU CHEMISTRY PROGRAM IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE TOP THREE EXAMPLES OF BEST PRACTICES IN ITS FIELD

A general chemistry class taught by University of Oklahoma Professor Michael Abraham recently was selected from 114 chemistry courses across the nation as one of the top three examples of best practices in the subject area.

The award, presented by the Center for Educational Policy Research at the University of Oregon, sought permission from Abraham to share his course with members of the Advanced Placement Redesign Commission, stating his course is “an example of an outstanding model in its subject area.”
