Usually, students have to mention whatthey learned and how it complements something they already knew. Also, they have to sharehow their view or ideas changed after they completed the lab. Finally, sometimes, we ask theiropinion about the lab assignment; what they liked or did not like, or some ideas to improve the Spring 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 7-8, 2017 MSUlab.

minus one would be a measure of the relative gain using the (post-pre)/pre concept.The learning assessment rubric of Highly Competent, Competent, and Needs Improvementversus Participant Deliverables was used. An improvement was observed in the grades ofdiscussion sections of lab reports. The student relative gain was about 0.2 (N = 22 and N = 20,two classes) in the assessment model using highly competent =1, competent = 0.8 and needsimprovement = 0.6). The rubric guideline is displayed in Table 1.The assessment result suggests that the modeling of liberal arts writing in the context ofdiagrammatic kinematics thinking would help students to improve on their physics lab reportwriting.
