Summary

Students work in Chemistry laboratories in both lower and upper classes without knowing how actually the basic concept hands-on-activity correlates with theory, which puts students behind and struggling for the class and/or not preparing for the class. In this instance, I intend to design some sort of program and/or coding to supplement student learning, not just doing hands-on-activity but understanding what is done with translating to logic.

Learning Goals

1. Identify the basic concept to assist under-prepared students struggling with math and chemistry concepts (lower class).

2. Outline the program/coding to analyze and/or translate the logical reason to supplement students' learning (upper class).

Context for Use

Undergraduates lab activity. MATLAB Onramp. Odes MATLAB live scripts. MATLAB with Excel.

Description and Teaching Materials

1. prepare some scratch program/coding that students can use to investigate the theory and come up with a solution.
2. adding supplemental tools which assist students to re-work with problem-solving and critical thinking skills.



Teaching Notes and Tips

MATLAB Onramp. ODES MATLAB live scripts. MATLAB with Excel.


Assessment

To implement the assignments with a lot of flexibility, where students can work to correct them
