Remote Organic Chemistry Laboratories at University of Michigan--Dearborn
Marincean, Simona; Scribner, Steven L.
Journal of Chemical Education, v97 n9 p3074-3078 Sep 2020
University of Michigan--Dearborn offers a one semester, two credit, stand-alone Organic Chemistry Laboratory course aimed at students with an interest in health-related careers. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a campus closure and a subsequent transition to a partially remote laboratory curriculum developed on-the-fly for the Winter 2020 semester followed by a full online course for our summer, accelerated sessions. The online structure is a hybrid of readings, student made videos, instructor demonstrations, laboratory simulations, and structure elucidation assignments. From our first iteration of the fully remote laboratory course, students are able to learn technique concepts and reaction background, interpret characterization data at similar levels to the face-to-face instruction setting. However, since the experimental execution is visualized or simulated, it is more challenging to assess the skills' gained.
