Shannon L. W. Accettone; Cassandra DeFrancesco; Cole Alexander King; Monique K. Lariviere – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Laboratory skills assignments were developed as a novel approach to providing students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on laboratory skills development outside of the lab during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the assignments were implemented within a second-year forensic chemistry course of 48 students and redesigned and modified to be…

Hunter, Rebecca A.; Kovarik, Michelle L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Students develop process skills through repeated practice of data interpretation, problem solving, and critical thinking. The primary literature provides a rich source of data and application problems to engage students in this practice within the context of chemistry content knowledge. However, most existing classroom activities based on the…
