An article describing the development, testing, and evaluation of a new guided-inquiry experiment for UBC’s second-year analytical chemistry course (CHEM 211) has just been published in the Journal of Chemical Education! The CHEM 211 labs have seen many exciting changes over the past few years, including the introduction of several guided-inquiry experiments in which students research and develop their own […]
Now available in the UBC Chemistry learning resources section: “Examining Exams”. This workshop, which was originally offered as a part of our Chemistry Education Brown Bag Lunch series, combines results from the research literature with some local expertise to addresses the following questions: How can the design of an exam affect what it measures? How can we tell […]
Did you know that the UBC Chemistry Learning Lab Notebook hosts one of the world’s best* collections of analytical chemistry demonstrations? This past June, analytical chemistry faculty from across Canada and the US gathered in a special session at the 2015 CSC to share their favourite teaching demonstrations. They also produced a series of videos that provide detailed instructions […]
Editor’s note: This guest post comes from Amber Richardson, a UBC chemistry undergraduate who spent part of the past year researching study strategies for organic chemistry. One of the products of her research is a fantastic study guide! Students interested in using the guide can download a copy for personal use (not for distribution) here: Richardson 2015 […]
