Abstract
This article describes a university chemistry course for nonscience majors that provides a comprehensive understanding of energy by coupling traditional chemical concepts and scientific technologies with appropriate economic, political, and legal mechanisms for monitoring and regulating energy both domestically and internationally. The scientific content of the course is taught in a lecture-style format and students are required to demonstrate proficiency on quizzes and exams. Two additional assessments are used to measure students’ ability to apply relevant chemical concepts to a specific energy-related topic: class presentations and newspaper-style articles written for and reviewed by laypersons. Sample course materials, supplementary tables of assessment criteria, and student data from a recent class are provided in the online supporting information.
