Measuring Learning with Surveys in a Chemistry Seminar
Abstract
This poster session will examine the outcomes of teaching and learning for a seminar on employability opportunities in the field of chemistry. Data and graphs will show whether or not students possess a more realistic appraisal of job opportunities in the field of chemistry after the seminar than before. The outcomes are measured by analyzing students' responses to questions about levels of interest in the specialty employment areas, expectations for job opportunities and salaries, and expectations about post-bachelor's degree education. Survey results will examine 31 specialty areas and 26 types of jobs across six salary ranges. Data results (n=35) will be compared to the objectives for the course scores, and analyzed to identify strengths, improvements, and insights (SII) about the seminar learning experience.
