The students received detailed feedback from the instructor on their midterms, but (other than the final) had little opportunity to revise their thinking and be reaccredited.As the instructor of this course in 2012~2016, the author of this paper documented 4 notableobservations at our annual peer review meetings about Chem E 325 under a traditional lecture-homework format:1) Contact time was a bottleneck. Compared to our transport sequence (which naturally devotes a large fraction of lecture time to the mechanics of problem solving), Chem E 325 introduces a wider

Though in principleconstructive alignment of teaching and learning activities† supports the use of ‘performanceassessments’ such as oral qualifying exams or the preparation of a realistic grant proposal tomeasure student knowledge [13], this relies on transparency in the alignment between thelearning process students
