The workshop is designed for anyone who wants to create their own lab manual for use in their own classes but is unsure of how to proceed. It will begin with a review of the decisions that need to be made regarding the structure and content of the manual and then proceed to the dynamics of manual construction and experiment writing. Participants are asked to bring along an existing experiment they would like to be in their manual. It is expected that each participant will leave with one, usable experiment; a good idea of how to construct more and the basic structure of their future lab manual.
I teach people how to teach chemistry to non-chemists. I also teach labs to freshmen. I'd love to talk about these issues and anything else related to teaching chemistry.
