Yu-ting Chen; Shu-mei Cao; Xing Liu; Jian Zhou – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
To improve the experimental interest and innovative ability of advanced undergraduate students, a luminescent sensing laboratory experiment with visual performance characteristics is introduced. Students have synthesized an organic hybrid cage-like europium-germanate oxo cluster with the formula of [Eu[subscript 8](phen) [subscript 2]Ge[subscript…

Bertram, Anna; Tomas, Carmen – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Engaging students actively in assessment, using a range of formative activities, consistently over sustained periods is a common recommendation in the assessment for learning literature. Despite this, practice still lags behind. Our case study aims to bridge the widening gap between theory and practice by illustrating the application of recent…

Rui-tang Guo; Cheng Xia; Wei-guo Pan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The chemical experiment is designed for undergraduates majoring in chemistry, energy, and environment. The intended purpose is that the students will comprehend the reaction mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of CO[subscript 2] through hands-on experiments and deepen their understanding of sustainable energy technologies. More importantly, the…

Crane, Julia; Page, Shallee T. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
We present a course-embedded undergraduate research module that involves real-time polymerase chain reaction testing for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental samples. A positive control RNA was constructed and two RNA extraction methods were compared and a range of primers were available to compare. Using a combination of published…

Lina M. Arcila Hernández; Abraham Borker; Roxanne S. Beltran; Alexandra I. Race; Erika S. Zavaleta – Assessment Update, 2024
In this article, the authors showcase 1) how they used assessment and evaluation strategies to determine the efficacy of field-based experiences in biology and 2) how they used this data to develop a new field--based course into a departmental intervention to foster inclusion of marginalized student populations in the life sciences. The authors…

Integrating Research into a Molecular Cloning Course to Address the Evolving Biotechnology Landscape
Garcia, Christina B.; Chapman, Ian F.; Chen, Stefanie H.; Lazear, Eric; Lentz, Thomas B.; Williams, Christina; Dums, Jacob T.; Goller, Carlos C.; Robertson, Sabrina D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The rapid development of molecular biotechnology presents a curricular challenge for educators trying to provide students with relevant coursework. A comprehensive biology education should also include opportunities for students to develop intellectual and technical skills through authentic research experiences. Integrating relevant and…

Bowers, Geoffrey M.; Larsen, Randolph K., III; Neiles, Kelly Y. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper describes and assesses the impact of a new upper-level "scholarly" laboratory model that is part of a four-year scaffolded research skills curriculum at a Carnegie Bachelor's institution. In this scholarly lab model, students gain the "tools" of a discipline in a first-semester laboratory and engage in the scholarly…

Megan; Straub, Jacob N.; Bunnell, Sarah L.; Witkovsky-Eldred, Marissa – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2020
Multisite, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN) were assessed for impacts on student learning of collaborative science skills using a survey that could serve as a starting point for a validated assessment instrument for multisite CUREs. Pretests/posttests were administered…
