Hamilton, Nicholas B.; Remington, Jacob M.; Schneebeli, Severin T.; Li, Jianing – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
We reported a redesign of a physical chemistry laboratory course (CHEM 166) for our chemistry majors at the University of Vermont carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic. We started to teach this course after a curriculum reform, which split an upper-division undergraduate laboratory course into physical and analytical chemistry laboratories. To…

Dou, Remy; Teodorescu, Raluca; Madsen, Adrian; Redish, Edward F.; Reeves, Mark – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Course syllabi are a required component of college and university courses. Syllabi present both broader course structuring practices, are a valuable "first impression" of what instructors want to offer their students, and are used as tools in course design. While best teaching practices suggest specific recommendations for syllabi…
