Here is some prliminary information about one of the assignments in KJM4030 when you assist in one of the laboratory courses this semester. Most of you will be helping the teachers in KJM1100. You shall look for unclear stuff in the Laboratory Course. In the written material and the spoken words by the teachers. What can be done so the students don¡¯t misunderstand next time the cours is running? You shall write about the misunderstandings you do find in the written report/presentation. Relate the theory stuff in KJM4030 to the reality in the lab course. Describe what you think is the most important with the lab course: - What do the students learn? - Do the students develop practical skills in something? - Do the students get an improved understanding of the theory through completing the lab course? What is it expected that the students shall have mastered after completing the lab course? What do you think the students have the most problems with in the lab course? What changes would you recommend to reduce these problems (if any) and improve what the students understand and learn? Is there a relationship between the theory course and what is taught in the lab course? Which chapters of McKeachie has relevance to the lab course you took part in? Please elaborate extensively. Do you find the marking of lab reports as formative or outcome evaluation? Compare what is stated as goals for the the course as a whole and especially what are the goals for the lab course with the reality in the laboratory¡­.. Hint - look at the webpages of your assigned course. Please read: Laboratory Instruction styles J.Chem. Edu. 76. 4.1999 543-547. You shall try to classify the individual lab assignments as expository, inquery, discovert or problem-based. Discuss extensively please.
