This sequence of labs was developed for an upper level undergraduate cell biology course at Fairfield University. The labs are based on the use of the K562 human erythroleukemia cell line, a model system that is exceptionally amenable to an undergraduate cell biology lab course due to its ease of maintenance and propagation and usefulness for…

Santos-Díaz, Stephanie; Hensiek, Sarah; Owings, Taylor; Towns, Marcy H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Previous work has shown a misalignment between the goals of faculty and students for laboratory coursework. Although faculty often list learning techniques and developing critical thinking skills as goals for laboratory, students tend to focus on affective goals, such as finishing lab early and obtaining good grades. The goals of faculty have been…

Young, Michael C.; Djernes, Katherine E.; Payton, John L.; Liu, Daniel; Hooley, Richard J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
In response to the call for an increased emphasis from the American Chemical Society on including macromolecular studies in the undergraduate curriculum, a supramolecular-themed experiment was designed for undergraduate-level organic laboratory courses that provides a convenient platform to study physical behaviors of supramolecular assemblies.…

This work provides information about a free-of-charge, trilingual (Portuguese, Spanish, and English), game-based application. The game allows high-school and undergraduate students to review chemical nomenclature in an engaging and fun way on their own by answering random questions from a database with over 700 questions. Student testing revealed…

Wang, Sunmeng; Schipper, Derek J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The polarized optical microscope (POM) is an invaluable tool for characterizing materials such as liquid crystals and other optically anisotropic materials. Despite its frequent use in research settings, students are rarely introduced to its fundamental operation and importance. Curricula are starting to appear for applications of the POM in…

Vié, Clotilde; Fattaccioli, Jacques; Jacq, Philippe – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This activity introduces droplet-based millifluidics and the usage of aqueous droplets as independent chemical microreactors for reaction-kinetics studies. Students build their own droplet generators from common macroscopic glassware and connecting parts to create trains of millimeter-sized droplets in which a redox reaction takes place. The…

Petritis, Steven J.; Byrd, Katherine M.; Schneller, Will – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
For years, hybridization in chemistry has been taught using static pictures and model kits. We decided to reimagine how students learn hybridization through the development of a mobile learning tool. The tool contains gamification features, such as achievements and progressive leveling that keep students engaged, while the mobile platform allows…

Our study evaluates students' approaches to and perceptions of the use of hands-on at-home laboratory kits (HALK) experiments, open-source computer-based simulations (OSCBS), and their combination (OSCBS-HALK) in undergraduate introductory asynchronous online physics courses. Anonymous survey data from students who had completed online physics…

Ambruso, Kelly; Riley, Kathryn R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In this communication, we describe five at-home laboratory experiments and demonstrations that complement a semester-long analytical chemistry curriculum. The experiments were successfully carried out by remote undergraduate students enrolled in a hybrid analytical chemistry course during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students used their personal…

Attardi, Stefanie M.; Mintz, Noah M.; Rogers, Kem A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
Online teachers are an under-researched population, but their perspectives are crucial to the successful implementation of online education. A fully online section of an established face-to-face (F2F) two-semester undergraduate anatomy course with a prosection laboratory commenced in 2012 at The University of Western Ontario, Canada. Professors'…

Abdulahad, Asem I.; Privett, Janet A.; Adams, Michael R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
For many years, Xavier University of Louisiana (Xavier) has been a leader in educating underrepresented minority students who successfully transition into postgraduate degree programs in STEM and eventually into STEM-based careers in research, healthcare, and beyond. Striving to meet the needs of women and minority students who continue to be…

Aoki, Emily; Rastede, Elizabeth; Gupta, Anisha – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This article examines the intersection of environmental justice and undergraduate chemistry education through a review of existing publications that highlight successful strategies for chemistry educators interested in incorporating environmental justice into their classrooms. It emphasizes the key roles of racial and social justice in the…

Brohus, Malene; Duun Rohde, Palle; Echers, Simon Gregersen; Westphal, Klaus Ringsborg; Ern, Rasmus; Jensen, Helene Halkjaer – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2022
Digital tools and platforms offer new solutions to design and conduct university teaching. This case illustrates how such digital solutions may be utilized in problem-based learning programmes within life science educations. Specifically, the case evaluated the use of live-streamed and recorded lectures, the incorporation of digital formative…

Instructor Talk--noncontent and nonlogistical language that is focused on shaping the classroom learning environment--is a recently defined variable that may play an important role in how undergraduates experience courses. Previous research characterized Instructor Talk used by faculty teaching in biology lecture classrooms. However, graduate…

Archila, Pablo Antonio; Gravier, Gissel; Levy, Laura; Ortiz, Brigithe Tatiana; Rodríguez, Alejandra; Wilches, Luciana; Truscott de Mejía, Anne-Marie; Restrepo, Silvia – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The rise in university bilingual science courses is explained by a certain phenomenon, the internationalization of higher education. Bilingual Argument Mapping (BAM) -- the ability to construct argument maps using two languages -- is a key aspect of bilingual scientific literacy. An argument map is a visual representation of argument structure.…
