Assessment Method Description:Students were given the chemical formula of amolecule. They were then asked to draw a LewisStructure of the molecule, including charges,lone pairs, and correct geometry. The rubric had4 levels. Level 1: Errors in connectivity,numbers or types of atoms; Level 2: Errors inbonds, lone pairs, or octets; Level 3: All correctexcept for geometry; Level 4: No errors.Assessment Method:Exam/Test/QuizStandard and Target for Success:It is expected that 80% of students score 3 orhigher on the rubric.
02/04/2014 - Four sections of Chem 1A were assessedin Fall 2013, for a total of 81 students. 8 students scoredrubric level 1 (9.9%), 2 students scored rubric level 2(2.5%), 5 students scored rubric level 3 (6.2%), and 66students scored rubric level 4 (81.5%). 87.7% ofstudents overall scored level 3 or higher.

01/28/2014 - Four sections of Chem 20 were assessedin Fall 2013, for a total of 100 students. 15 studentsscored rubric level 1 (15.0%), 14 students scored rubriclevel 2 (14.0%), 21 students scored rubric level 3(21.0%) and 50 students scored rubric level 4 (50.0%).71.0% of students overall scored level 3 or higher. Oneinstructor noted that the Lewis Structure lab wasscheduled too close to the exam date, which didn’t givestudents enough time to learn from their mistakes. The
05/30/2014 - All Chem 20 sections willbe tested on the same molecule in thenext assessment.

Chemistry Department discussed these results at ourbrown bag meeting, and we decided that it would bemore helpful to compare data between sections if allsections were given the same molecule.

05/30/2018 - The ChemistryDepartment determined that the samplesize was too small to get useful data.Acquiring more data in the future willgive us a more accurate snapshot of thelevel of proficiency of the students.

01/28/2014 - Six sections of Chem 4 were assessed inFall 2013, for a total of 139 students. 34 students scoredrubric level 1 (24.5%), 18 students scored rubric level 2(12.9%), 34 students scored rubric level 3 (24.5%) and56 students scored rubric level 4 (40.3%). 64.8% ofstudents overall scored level 3 or higher. One section inparticular had low scores (more than half of studentsscored level 1). One instructor noted that he felt thatstudents who were conscientious about doing thehomework and about studying regularly performedbetter than students who did little homework orstudying. Another instructor realized that he hadconfused students by mentioning that for many acids,hydrogen is attached to oxygen. His studentsmistakenly thought that the molecule in question was anacid.
