Student #12 opened live graph in one browserand LEWAS intro in another, while student #15, first opened two browsers, then opened fourbrowsers, which can be detected by the alternating colors in the graph. Fourth, most of the usersclosed their browser/s after completing the task, but students #7 and #8 kept their browsers openeven after their class. Moreover, student #7 seemed to go back and forth for using the OWLSbrowser between 3.30 and 3.40 pm. Fifth, there seems to be a frequent activity trend in whichstudents were accessing the system for the OWLS-based task. Students were mostly navigatingfrom the home page (grey color) to the watershed summary (dull green), to the

learning of classroom concepts. This study did not control the tutorial instructionthat students received, so different tutorial instructors could have affected the exchange ofknowledge between the classroom and laboratory. However, the techniques used in this studycould be used to prompt reflection on in-class concepts that appear in a lab. This could be a greatopportunity to improve student learning.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the Claremont Center for Teaching and Learning.REFERENCES[1] L. B. Buck, S. L. Bretz, and M. H.

seek to evaluate integrative thinking, we choose to avoid the style ofpoint-allocation rubrics, as point awards necessarily skew towards simple report features thatmay fail to reflect the students’ understanding of their work.To reflect our emphasis on higher-level thinking we have chosen to develop mastery-orientedrubrics, where report sections are evaluated on a continuum from Novice to Mastery (or 1 to 5).This enables us to rank reports according to the students’ ability to define critical points for eachsection of a report. Our generic rubric for a laboratory report is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Default rubric for assessing student understanding in laboratory reports Headed Section Important Statement(s

institutionincreased the depth of CH102’s inquiry-based learning approach with the introduction of a waterquality laboratory sequence. We used five key elements to develop the laboratory curriculum.First, we determined that the laboratory curriculum must satisfy the course goals, which broadlyincluded learning safe laboratory practices, developing data analysis skills, and developinglaboratory techniques required for more advanced STEM courses (American Chemical SocietyCommittee on Professional Training, 2015). Second, we determined that laboratory work shouldprimarily be a hands-on experience in which students are provided the opportunity to carry outexperiments themselves (Larsen, et al. 2013; Obenland, et al., 2014). Third, we determined theintroductory
