Cooperative Chemistry Laboratories

化学系正在引入合作指导 探究实验室进入普通化学课程。 的 学生们放弃了12个，单独表演， 传统的一个实验室时期的练习，以工作在 每学期对选定的研究导向项目进行小组讨论。 在本学期的课程中，学生们将他们的问题 解决近似研究过程的项目的技能 越近越好 除了学习如何 认识到科学研究的富有成效的方法， 为了计划实验，学生们还使用他们的书面材料， 和口头沟通技巧，以批评和评估他们的 结果

The Department of chemistry is introducing cooperative guided inquiry laboratories into the general chemistry course. The students are forgoing twelve, individually performed, traditional one laboratory period exercises in order to work in groups on selected research oriented projects per semester. During the course of the semester, students apply their problem solving skills to projects approximating the research process as closely as possible. In addition to learning how to recognize fruitful approaches to scientific investigations and to plan experiments, the students also use both their written and oral communication skills to critique and evaluate their results.
