AB  -    The Paperless Lab – Streamlining a Modern Unit Operations Laboratory                                  CourseUnit Operations (UO) courses are challenging for instructors from both course management andgrading perspectives. Myriad time-consuming and (at times) frustrating tasks are required of theUO instructor, including assigning student teams, providing students with pre-lab information,grading reports, and assessing peer evaluation results. Similarly, UO students are often frustratedwith the need to wait for instructor assistance with laboratory preparation, uncomfortablyspending class time on peer evaluations while sitting next to the very teammates they’reevaluating, etc.This paper presents a critical evaluation of various efforts to streamline the execution of a large(n = ~100) ChE UO course, with the goal of saving time and frustration for both instructors andstudents. A number of modern time-saving measures are presented and evaluated, includingpaperless laboratory report submission and grading, custom videos for student laboratorypreparation, and use of online team management software for assignment and peer evaluation ofstudent groups. Each measure is critically evaluated based on monetary cost, amount of timesaved for the instructor, and student feedback.Request “Regular” ASEE Session
