In section 8.4, your textbook indicates that “one of the great rewards of studying chemistry is that you become a good problem solver” and that “being able to solve complex problems is a talent that will serve you well in all walks of life.” In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts:
How would you define conceptual problem solving in your own words? Can you give an example?
Why is it sometimes more important to understand the problem-solving process than to arrive at the right answer?
Do you agree that the type of problem-solving you did in this module will “serve you well in all walks of life”? If so, how? If not, what else is needed to ensure that this course can prepare you for your future?
