Five unknowns are given in this course and are chosen to give the students a wide experience in handling different type of compounds. Students are encouraged and required to become more and more independent in their approach to solving these unknowns, as well as using the literature to do so.The first unknown is a carboxylic acid and a neutralization equivalent can be substituted for one of the derivatives for this or any other unknown.

2 8

The second unknown is usually a mono functional compound. At least one of the first four unknowns should be a liquid.

2 8

The third unknown. One of the compounds should be an amino acid or a sugar and be optically active.

3 12

The fourth unknown. One of the compounds should be an ester or an amide.

3 12

The fifth unknown should be a homogenous mixture of three compounds. It should be necessary to separate two of the components of the mixture by chemical separation or chromatography rather than by physical methods.

sessions. Course evaluation by students at the end of the semester 6 Processes for Improvement of Teaching Attending workshops on teaching and learning methodologies. Sharing the experiences of other instructors who teach the same

course, through course rotation with other instructors 4. Processes for Verifying Standards of Student Achievement (eg. check marking by an independent faculty member of a sample of student work, periodic exchange and remarking of a sample of assignments with a faculty member in another institution)


In the past this course has been taught by two very experienced teachers was over 30 years of experience in this course.

Records of been kept of various unknowns and mixtures which have been assigned to students in the past. This record has been used to determine the validity and fairness of particular unknowns




This course was previously taught as a one lecture and two laboratory sessions per week. It is presently being evaluated to return that particular format

American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education. 65, 2001, 324

Assessment of knowledge ,Questions involving student recall of basic material such as terms and facts, classifications and categories and general theories and principles are categorized as “knowledge” questions.These can further be sub-divided into terminology and factual knowledge categories as suggested by Ebel.The following types of questions are asked:Define, Describe, Identify, Label, List, Match, Name, Outline, Reproduce, Select, State.

Example of terminology knowledge question:"What is the systematic name of the following coordination compound?"

Example of factual knowledge question:"Describe the shapes of d orbitals."

144

Assessment of comprehension ,

According to Bloom et al., understanding material thoroughly involves the ability to translate, interpret, or extrapolate. These skills enable students to rephrase, explain, and summarize knowledge. Explanation is a useful description of this process.

The following types of questions are asked: Explain, Convert, Distinguish, Estimate, Extend, Generalize, Give examples, Infer, Predict, Summarize.

Example of an explanation question:Explain why compound A is more soluble than B.

Example of a prediction question"What would be the relative metal-ligand bond strengths in the following two compounds?"

Example of a visual interpretation question.What are the possible isomers of compound A?

Assessment of application ,

This hierarchical level involves not only understanding a concept or a relationship, but the ability to apply this general knowledge to a situation that is both novel and specific.

The following types of questions are asked:Use, Apply, Solve, Demonstrate, Modify, Relate, Show.

Example: "Use the principle of hard and soft acids and bases to predict the product of a chemical reaction."

Assessment of analysis ,

This hierarchical level involves the break down of material into its component parts so that its structure may be understood.

The following types of questions are asked: Analyze, Determine, Examine, Find, Diagram, Differentiate, Illustrate, Infer, Relate, Select.

Example: " Determine the symmetry elements of the square planar complex Pt(CN)42- "

145

Assessment of Synthesis

This cognitive skill requires students to integrate learning from different areas of knowledge to compose a novel and coherent whole or solve problems by creative thinking.The following types of questions are asked: Explain, Combine, Categorize, Compile, Generate, Organize, Rearrange.

Example of synthesis question:How would the inductive and the steric effects of the substituant affect the base strength of the ligand?

Assessment of Evaluation ,

This high cognitive level is difficult to asses in this introductive course to inorganic chemistry. However, the laboratory sessions present an opportunity of assessment when it comes to simple experimental judgments.
