For example, “What is the term that describes the force of attraction between a liquid and the walls of the container holding the liquid?” Problem Solving Examinations Example: Students will be given quizzes and unit examinations throughout the semester, which may include multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer, essay, and problem-solving questions. For example, “A sample of helium gas occupies 18.8 L at 23°C and 0.956 atm. What volume will it occupy at 40°C and 1.20 atm? Reports Example: Students will turn in laboratory reports for experiments performed in class. Write the laboratory report for the Enthalpy of Vaporization of Water experiment. Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will be asked to perform laboratory experiments which will require successful completion of tasks after the instructor has clearly demonstrated the activity and has answered student questions concerning the activity. For example, students will be evaluated on accurately determining the enthalpy of vaporization of water through experimentation. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: A classroom demonstration is used to illustrate Lewis structures in action, followed by the students performing an experiment to explore and learn about the topic covered. This is followed up by the students completing a lab report of their lab experiment. In the online modality, students may watch a video of the demonstration and of the experimental procedure, followed up by students completing a lab report. In the online modality lab reports will be submitted through LMS. Lecture: A classroom discussion covering phase diagrams is followed by a worksheet that students will complete working in small groups while the instructor roams the room, offering guidance to facilitate learning. In the online modality, this will be accomplished using breakout groups or discussion boards. The instructor will facilitate problem-solving through the discussion board or the breakout groups. Distance Learning A multimedia slide presentation is used to present the basics of electron configurations in detail utilizing graphics and video segments for emphasis and clarity. Example problems are demonstrated by the instructor at appropriate times throughout the presentation. Students are always encouraged to ask questions during the lecture. In the online modality, the information is presented to the students through the LMS using video lectures or a multimedia slide presentation. Students will participate through LMS discussion board. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read a section from the textbook. Be prepared to use the content to participate in the classroom and to complete assigned problems from the textbook. For example: Read the section on equilibrium from the textbook. Be prepared to use the content to participate in the classroom and to complete assigned problems from the textbook. 2. Read a laboratory and prepare a pre-laboratory report. For example: Read the Chemical Equilibrium laboratory and prepare a pre-laboratory report. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Write the pre-laboratory report for a laboratory. For example: The student will complete a pre-laboratory worksheet answering questions pertaining to the lab. For example, “write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction between acetic acid and sodium hydroxide.” 2. Solve problems from textbook problems at end of chapter. For example: “A sample of helium gas occupies 18.8 L at 23°C and 0.956 atm. What volume will it occupy at 40°C and 1.20 atm?” 3. Perform laboratory experiments and determine the percent error. For example: Perform the enthalpy of vaporization of water experiment, determine the percent error, and write a laboratory report.
