Talk:Chemistry for Idiots, Humans and Rebels/Mole Concept

Making sense of copying from wikipedia
Wikipedia is free and If I were to write a new text, there's no point denying I'd be referring to it. However, wikipedia treats each topic independently, it is NOT a textbook!.

The following points come to my mind:
 * Copying the essentials from wikipedia is necessary for initial development.
 * But what is the development supposed to be? What do we want this text to become?
 * How will we go about doing it?

There are no contributors to this page right now, but I will call in for them once the themes and outlines are sufficiently developed! This question is for them to answer, to the community as wells as to themselves so that others and they may figure out how ''exactly' will the book evolve?

Online Resources
Here is an article available from the Journal of Science Education and Technology:


 * Reasoning Strategies Used by Students to Solve Stoichiometry Problems and Its Relationship to Alternative Conceptions, Prior Knowledge, and Cognitive Variables


 * This document provides a lot of insights into the thoughts of the students while solving mole concept problems. This insight can be used to address the issue properly. If we don't know what is wrong, how will we fix it?


 * http://www.scribd.com/doc/13244561/Notes-on-Mole-Concept
 * These seem to be notes by an amateur! I couldn't attriute it to anyone. However, if at all you are facing a writer's block you can refer to these notes for a start!


 * http://www.scribd.com/doc/37108181/Mole-Concept
 * A set of really good questions. Features only 22 questions though! However, this will be a good source to borrow questions from!
