为了应对新冠肺炎危机而进入在线教学的快车道，作者学会了使用在线平台和工具来教授热力学和量子力学课程。这些资源被有效地用于教授高度数学和具有挑战性的概念，如本函件所述。使用传统(考试)和新颖(项目)方法的学生评估被强调，特别是使用项目来检验学生应用他们的知识来解决现实世界问题的能力。一项针对学生在线学习反应的调查显示，在新冠肺炎危机期间，他们感到得到了支持，这项工作中描述的教学工具成功地帮助了他们学习。这些在前几个季度完成了两门课程的部分课程的学生压倒性地倾向于面授。交流中描述的教学方法被非正式地与学院的理科同事分享。他们可能会在教授其他化学课程和STEM领域取得成功。由于这次教学经验，笔者感觉为未来的在线教学做好了更好的准备。
A fast track into online teaching in response to the COVID-19 crisis resulted in the author learning to use online platforms and tools to teach thermodynamics and quantum mechanics courses. These resources were used effectively to teach highly mathematical and challenging concepts, as presented in this communication. Student assessment using traditional (exams) and novel (projects) approaches are highlighted, especially the use of projects that examined students’ ability to apply their knowledge to solve real world problems. A survey of students’ responses to online learning revealed that they felt supported during the COVID-19 crisis and the teaching tools described in this work were successful in helping them learn. These students who completed parts of the two courses in face-to-face classes in previous quarters overwhelmingly preferred in-person instruction. The pedagogical approaches described in the communication were shared informally with fellow science faculty at the college. They may be successful in teaching other chemistry courses and STEM fields. The author feels better prepared for teaching online in the future as a result of this teaching experience.
