Chemistry (12). This project is adapting existing guided inquiry based materials for two preparatory courses: one preparatory to general chemistry and the other to allied health chemistry. All work in these guided inquiry courses is being done on Tablet PCs, submitted electronically to the instructors, and assessed using an electronic grading program called FastGrade. This program allows the instructors to grade and provide feedback to each of student groups quickly after each class period. The intellectual merit of this project is in the implementation of Tablet PCs and FastGrade into guided inquiry preparatory chemistry courses and a demonstration that guided inquiry can be used in classes of at least 80 students. Grading rubrics are being established and can transfer to other courses. Formative evaluation is promoting the revision of materials and improvements to the Fast Grade interface. The project is also comparing the success of students taught by guided inquiry with those taught by traditional lecture methods by tracking subsequent enrollments in classes for which these courses were preparatory. The broader impacts of this project include conversion of these preparatory chemistry courses to Tablet PC based guided inquiry as well as additional courses: Chemistry for Allied Health, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Food Chemistry. Faculty members in the department using the Tablet PCs are attending a guided inquiry workshop and a workshop on use of Tablet PCs. Adoption of the FastGrade program is being tracked, both on campus and beyond to determine the impact this program has on the educational community. Workshops on the use of Tablet PCs, guided inquiry and FastGrade are being held on campus and at regional and national meetings.

化学（12）。 该项目正在调整现有的指导调查为基础的两个预备课程的材料：一个准备一般化学和其他联合健康化学。这些指导探究课程的所有工作都是在平板电脑上完成的，以电子方式提交给教师，并使用一个名为FastGrade的电子评分程序进行评估。该计划允许教师在每节课结束后迅速对每个学生小组进行评分和提供反馈。 这个项目的智力价值是在实施平板电脑和FastGrade到引导探究预备化学课程和示范，引导探究可以在至少80名学生的班级使用。 正在制定评分标准，并可转入其他课程。形成性评价促进了材料的修订和快速分级界面的改进。该项目还通过跟踪随后参加这些课程预备班的学生人数，比较采用引导探究教学法的学生与采用传统授课法的学生的成绩。 该项目的更广泛的影响包括这些预备化学课程转换为基于平板电脑的指导调查以及其他课程：化学联合健康，普通化学，有机化学，分析化学和食品化学。 使用平板电脑的系里的教员正在参加一个指导性的调查讲习班和一个关于使用平板电脑的讲习班。 通过快速分级计划正在跟踪，无论是在校园内外，以确定该计划对教育界的影响。 正在校园内以及在区域和国家会议上举办关于使用平板电脑、指导性询问和快速年级的讲习班。
