A variety of assessment tools can be used forchanges and improvement in course design and instructional practice, including journals, examquestions, student projects and reports, and student achievement in the laboratory. The challengeis to link the assessments at the classroom level and changes that result from this level ofassessment, to the achievement of course outcomes and program outcomes by the students.In terms of outcome-based language the process for continuous program

procedure employed, thus reducing the educationalexperience for the student. The goal of ChemProV was to provide a scaffold for learningbut leave the problem solving strategy flexible enough to accommodate multiple learningstyles and approaches. The intent was that by the end of a typical material/energybalance class, the students would have developed their skills to the point where the use ofChemProV was no longer necessary.In 2008 and 2009, we conducted a laboratory experiment to assess the effectiveness ofChemProV. To conduct this experiment, we divided the material/energy balance classinto four groups. Two different material balance problems, of equal difficulty, weredeveloped. Each group was asked to solve two problems: one problem to be

The composite score isbased on direct assessments obtained from rubrics or other quantifiable measures. The rubricused in the senior laboratory course has 39 components from which a written report is graded.Similarly, an oral communication rubric has 27 components. This extensive rubric providesdetailed feedback to each student. These scores are combined across the several classes involvedto provide a composite measure of proficiency for each student.The written and communication “soft” skills are often hard to track unless a grading rubric orsome other comprehensive measure is used.

The first spectrophotometer that could effectively measure transmittance (and absorbance)was invented by Arnold Beckman of National Technical Laboratories in 1940. Beckman’s initialdesign used a glass prism to split light into various wavelengths and a vacuum tube photocell tomeasure transmittance, but later models used more reliable quartz prisms. Modern spectrophotometers use essentially the same design, but with a few key changes(see Figure 6). The light source is typically a halogen light bulb, which emits wavelength in thevisible range ( = 300-700 nm) and near-infrared, but a
