摘要: As more instructors articulate learning objectives for their students within one course, or academic staff collaborate to outcomes programs, a robust means assess student performance these becomes increasingly important. The Examinations Institute of the American Chemical Society (ACS), Division Education, has recently published content maps that utilise structure subdiscipline-independent fundamental concepts narrowing down details are specific subdisciplines. This then been utilised align items and can be used throughout program. Learning designed course aligned framework gauge across One key making well-informed instructional decisions is obtain as much valid information from such assessment work possible. paper describes combination using rubric assigning complexity with achieving in general chemistry organic chemistry. It argued forms provide useful guidance designing improved instruction.
