摘要：
The material of a standard second-year undergraduate organic chemistry class has been reorganized and reframed to emphasize the mechanistic connections between reactions and to clarify the language with which organic reaction mechanisms are discussed. Assessment of the results of this reorganization shows that student test scores do not decline in the second semester and that the overall performance of the class improves, especially among the less successful students.
