Chemistry is the fundamental subject for studying pharmacy. However, some students had not attained a reasonable level of proficiency in this subject in their high school days, even though they had a strong desire to be a pharmacist. In order to support these students, we provided a ‘learning activity class’, in which students participated voluntarily, with no credit requirement. Students were given the same chemistry problems and were required to solve them at their own pace. Teachers were ready to support them individually when they had difficulties. After the last class, we compared the students’ chemistry grades in the final term test with their class attendance. There was no clearly significant effect of attendance. However, there was a slight tendency for frequent attendees to get higher grades. Furthermore, through a questionnaire, the importance of individual support from teachers was revealed to be very helpful in motivating the students.
