CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Throughout the year assessment data is gathered through senior and alumni surveys, standardized exams and a major field test, capstone project, portfolio, and field experience evaluations. The following outcomes show areas where our students have excelled in their studies of Chemistry.

• Demonstrate a basic working knowledge of the general principles of chemistry including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry
• Perform safe laboratory manipulations including the use of common equipment, synthesizing and characterizing compounds, and performing good laboratory techniques
• Organize and maintain neat and complete experimental records, communicate effectively through oral and written reports, and retrieve chemical information from the literature
• Evaluate scientific theories critically, determine how they relate these to ethical and religious (Reformed) perspectives, and see how a Reformed scientist practices science from a redemptive perspective
