This page acts as both a location for ongoing reporting about your project as well as a space where you can draft text that will appear in a public description of your activity at the completion of the project. Sections with blue titles will become part of this public description when your grant is complete. Text in these sections should be written for an audience of faculty outside Carleton in mind.

Implemented in Class to change the title use the 'Full Editing Tools' option on the right

Progress Report

1/13/13
 I have implemented this stuff in class once and have a clue about how well it works in the real world. I have a list of things I want to update about the module to make it work better. Nulla tortor nibh, viverra ut bibendum hendrerit, sollicitudin ac eros. Praesent mattis convallis leo eget dapibus. Fusce porta augue consectetur eros malesuada porta in sagittis urna. Donec mollis turpis sit amet tortor ornare lacinia. Vivamus egestas nulla eget nunc varius eleifend. Nulla vel diam diam, eget porta nunc. Maecenas mollis facilisis elementum. Vestibulum et nibh non tortor mattis sollicitudin. Sed commodo gravida ligula, ac ornare ligula lobortis sed.

Description and Teaching Materials

Over the course of the set of activities, students will need to stuff with a bunch of things. Starting with the first thing, duis tincidunt feugiat massa ac blandit. Pellentesque lacus nibh, blandit et consectetur eu, hendrerit eget odio. Aenean id augue quis velit suscipit tincidunt vitae a dui. Ut et enim lectus, at auctor enim. Phasellus et nibh justo, et tristique tellus. Curabitur eleifend dui felis. Donec sed dictum nibh. Curabitur id sapien eleifend neque molestie imperdiet non vel dui. Pellentesque tincidunt odio vitae ante consequat porta. Nullam ac mi quis sem pharetra scelerisque accumsan et mi. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aliquam rutrum cursus massa nec interdum. Donec sit amet mi id dolor lobortis molestie.

This section should be completed after you have used your materials in the classroom.

Lessons Learned

I learned that this stuff is actually really hard. I'd never have started it if I had know the sleepness nights I'd face over the course of the year's work I put into this. It's a year of my life that I'll never get back.

Context for Use

This set of activities was designed for a large section, introductory Chemistry class at Carleton College, a small liberal arts college. The class has an optional lab and is typically made up of Seniors trying to graduate.

Teaching Notes and Tips

If you want to implement this suite of activities in your classroom I would recommend:

  • Be sure to have those things you need on hand at the beginning of the term because it's hard to restock when you run out.
  • Assign the students to random groups each week. Keeps them on their toes.
  • Don't forget to make the TA's answer all the questions you don't know the answer to right off.

Description

This is a much shorter description of what I am hoping to do with this project. It will fit nicely into the search returns and browse results windows when folks are looking for this kind of thing.
