造型的

造型的 assessment enables faculty to modify instruction to ensure students are 理解内容. For instance, several of the introductory physics and chemistry courses use "clickers" to gather real time data on student understanding. 在讲座期间, a professor can pose a multiple choice question which students immediately answer 使用点击器. The professor has immediate feedback on student understanding, and students are actively engaged in problem solving even in larger lecture classrooms. 

总结性

总结性 assessment enables the department to reflect on teaching outcomes to improve 每学期课程. The faculty actively engage in summative assessment or courses in the following programs: chemistry, physics, physical science general education, pre-service chemistry teaching, and pre-service physics teaching. 点击下面的 links to learn more about student accomplishment in our programs and means by which the department is improving its educational programs.
