Transformation Project; assessment and evaluation of the impact of transforming the CEM

161 and CEM 162 laboratories from one-week confirmatory laboratory exercises to multi-

week, cooperative, problem-based laboratory experiences. Based on the success of the

transformation in CEM 161 and CEM 162, we plan to extend this work to the organic

chemistry laboratory course (CEM 255) with the goal of developing and implementing two

projects that apply the principles of green chemistry.

team that is developing the Three-Dimensional Learning Observation Protocol (3D-LOP) to

characterize classroom instruction for the presence of core ideas, scientific practices, and

crosscutting concepts. The 3D-LOP is a complementary tool to the previously developed

Three-dimensional Learning Assessment Protocol (3D-LAP), which was designed to

characterize assessment items in gateway science courses. This project is a continuation of

the AAU-supported “CREATing a Coherent STEM Gateway” project. Classroom videos

collected in Years 1 and 3 of the AAU project will be analyzed using the 3D-LOP for

evidence of change in instruction.

Beginning in Fall 2016, the voluntary General Chemistry Assessment and Preparation

(GCAP) program was transformed to a required homework assignment in CEM 141. This

self-paced, adaptive assignment opens 3-4 weeks before the start of the semester and is due

during the third week of the semester. Students are encouraged to complete the assignment

before the semester begins because it covers prerequisite knowledge and skills. I continued to

setup the course each semester in the ALEKS Chemistry online learning system and in the

Desire2Learn (D2L) course management system. I maintain and update the supporting

materials provided to students in D2L. Supporting materials include instructions for enrolling

in ALEKS, an introduction to ALEKS, tips on using this resource effectively, and 14

supporting content modules (10 include videos).
