  In order to develop problem-solving abilities, students need to improve their communication skills through beneficial problem solving in a group setting. In this study, we introduced “learning from each other” to fourth-year students in Quantum Chemistry, a subject consisting of semiempirical and ab initio molecular orbital calculations. We also introduced the same system of learning to fourth-year students in Instrumental Analysis II, which consists of problems for determining chemical structure by NMR, IR, and mass spectra. In Coordination Chemistry and Electrochemistry in fifth-year students, the student’s presentations were reviewed each other to improve their presentation ability.

Key words: Problem-solving ability, Peer-review type presentation
