ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY MAJOR Make an impact in the sphere of health, environment, industry, agriculture, science, and technology with a major in Chemistry. The Chemistry major enables you to view the world from a molecular perspective, and to solve complex problems that span the breadth of chemistry and other sciences. You can choose to specialize in Chemistry Through your studies you will gain transferable skills, specialized laboratory skills and knowledge in the areas of molecular design and organic synthesis, analysis and spectroscopic identification of chemical species, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics and Chem-Technology NEW TEACHING METHODOLOGIES FOR CHEM-160 1. Lecture Plus. The main objective of this method is to encourage involvement, Learning, 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Understanding, and Success. This method includes mini-lectures using PowerPoint presentations, in-class combined learning, peer presentations, continuing assessment skills, and “Chem Works”, which are group homework projects Innovative Assignments will be designed not just to test what they know, but to help them develop their knowledge, skills and confidence. Tutorials and personal supervision comprise skills from problem solving to preparing a talk to give in the tutorial. This will be done in groups. Power point Chem-modules tutorials in PowerPoint that will be used as mini-lectures and short learning checks to frequently check the understanding and progress of students. Several Chem-Modules will be available on my website which will definitely help students learn the chemistry concepts. website [email protected] Formative assessment technique, which is a non-graded assessment that occurs throughout the class time. I integrated learning checks within the PowerPoint slides of my Chem-Modules. In the sample slides, there are learning checks. These learning checks are a type of formative assessment techniques, which is a non-graded assessment that occurs throughout the class time. Ten minutes quick feedback after completing the lecture ten minutes will be allocated to get feedback of the contents that will be covered in 30 minutes lecture.
