To promote students' utilization of structure-drawing software in preparing papers on chemistry laboratory class, procedure for downloading installation program from the Web site was demon-stratively instructed. The students carried back the program on a CD and worked with the software at home. Afterward, students' utilization of personal computer (PC) in preparing papers was investigated, especially focused on the expression of chemical structures. As a result, 86% of the students owing personal computer had installed the software in their machines, and 70% of them confessed that instruction of downloading procedure was effective in promoting utilization of the software at home. The utilization rate of the structure-drawing software in the papers prepared with PC distinctly increased to 40%, three times of that surveyed in the previous year. On the other hand, the main reason for handwriting structures was that the students were not skilled in operation of the software and thus they could draw structures faster by hands. It is expected that utilization of the software in preparing papers and theses will be promoted along with their experience.原著Original Paper
