Knowledge surveys ask students to rate how confident they are in being able to meet specific learning goals in a course. I have used knowledge surveys before and after POGIL activities in three courses: both semesters of general chemistry, first semester of physical chemistry, and in “The Art and Science of Brewing”, a non-majors course. Our general chemistry courseuses a majority of published (Moog and Farrell) POGIL activities, supplemented by a few self-authored activities. In physical chemistry I have used activities currently being developed by Sheppard and Grushow, supplemented with activities authored by Spencer, Moog, and Farrell. The activities in the brewing course are self-authored. I will discuss how the surveys are administered and the use of the results to improve facilitation or revise activities.
