Laboratory Assessment

The Examinations Institute has a newly designed assessment for student learning in the General Chemistry laboratory.  This new exam is delivered via our new electronic delivery platform and allows the instructor to choose among six laboratory scenarios to build a test.

  • Stoichiometry
  • Volumetric Analysis
  • Calorimetry
  • Spectrophotometry
  • Identification of Acids and Bases
  • Kinetics

Because this exam uses electronic delivery the capacity to use features such as embedded video is built into these scenarios. There are also new item formats, like “drag and drop”, that take advantage of the capacity of web-delivered testing. It is possible to look at an example scenario about measuring density for demonstration purposes. Copy and paste the URL below, or click here, to have a look.
