Cover Story: Discussions related to the chemistry curriculum inevitably include an evaluation of how chemistry can be made relevant for students to help to foster their success. This project was designed to capture chemistry instructors’ perceptions regarding making chemistry relevant for their students using a questionnaire focusing on teaching methods, tools, topics, as well as instructor perceptions of the associated challenges, including real-world topics in their courses and their perceptions of how students view these approaches. The analysis investigates patterns within the responses that can be helpful in highlighting areas where instructors may require additional support as they evaluate how they can improve their curricula to make their courses more valuable for their students.
