The format for our sophomore level analytical chemistry series is a lecture course in the fall semester followed by a 3 week intensive laboratory course in our January term. At the end of the laboratory course students take both the ACS standardized exam in Analytical Chemistry and a laboratory practical exam. The practical exam asks students to plan and carry out a quantitative analysis. Students are graded on their ability to plan the experimental conditions, accurately prepare standards, ability to use instrumentation and their efficiency in the laboratory. Assesmennt of student learning is based on student performance on the practical exam, the ACS standardized exam and a survey of the students at the end of the course.
