posted on 2022-02-01, 18:26 authored by Rebecca A. Hunter, Michelle L. KovarikStudents develop process skills through
repeated practice of data
interpretation, problem solving, and critical thinking. The primary
literature provides a rich source of data and application problems
to engage students in this practice within the context of chemistry
content knowledge. However, most existing classroom activities based
on the literature involve reading full articles. To offer students
more frequent practice, we suggest that instructors prepare assignments
based on data excerpted from articles. Herein, we demonstrate the
pedagogical goals, design strategy, and implementation of such assignments,
using over 40 examples from our own analytical chemistry courses.
These examples are provided for direct use or as models in the Supporting
Information.
