It required students to demonstrate their understanding by showing their work and explaining their reasoning, rather than selecting an answer. This format allowed for a deeper evaluation of students conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. The question was aligned with course objectives and assessed students ability to apply mathematical concepts in a structured and meaningful way. By using a free-response format, I was able to better identify student misconceptions and evaluate the steps they took to arrive at their solutions. | 2 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 5 | Overall, the results were positive. I think the extra practice questions really helped build understanding of this standard. | As a next step, I will incorporate more free-response problems like this into both homework and classwork to reinforce students understanding of the standard. I will also provide targeted support for students who are close to meeting expectations by reviewing common errors and modeling correct problem-solving strategies. |

| CHEM | Alexander Chang | CHEM 12B-01 and 12B- | 32211 and | Construct logical multi-step syntheses for organic molecules | 2025-2026 | Winter | Face-to-Face | Exam Course Test/Quiz | Cumulative final exam | 15 | 14 | 10 | 8 | 5 | It is my first time teaching this course. I think I could do a better job having homework problems more geared towards the bottom third of the class. They may be overwhelmed by synthesis problems, since those are inherently multi-step problems. The students who did not meet these outcomes struggled to get a completely correct answer on any synthesis problem throughout the year. Something that I have yet to determine is how much of this is "I don't know how to approach this multi-step problem", or "I know how to approach this problem, but I don't know the reactions well enough to progress with this problem". <br> <br> It could also be that the bottom of the class is not doing the homework. I have ungraded homework. I could also think of ways to incentive actually doing the homework, encouraging those students to keep up. This class is very cumulative, and if those students fall behind, they are behind for the rest of the quarter. | I can have a couple more simple homework problems at the start of every problem set. I can do more informal assessments (i.e. collect notecards) to see where students are struggling. I can ask struggling students in person to learn what is keeping them from solving these problems. I think I also overestimate the time it takes to solve synthesis problems, and this affected scores on my final because I think some students were rushing due to time. I will adjust for this in future exams. |

However, some students do not use correct notation and mathematical precision in the evaluation and interpretation of derivatives and integrals (for example forget to put limits for definite integral or close integral with dx). Students who do not meet expectations, are missed a lot of classes and have not done homework. | To improve using correct notations I will provide clear examples and non-examples (e.g., integrals missing limits or dx) and discuss why they matter, and I will dedicate short, regular notation checks where students correct improperly written solutions. |

The course modality is synchronous. For this evaluation, one question aligned with the second Student Learning Outcome (SLO) was selected, and overall quiz performance was also reviewed. Student success rates were calculated under the assumption that students completed at least 60% of the assignment.<br> Question 4 from Quiz 4 was chosen as the representative measure for this SLO. This problem required students to solve a second order differential equation using the method of reduction of order. The first solution was provided, and students were asked to determine the second linearly independent solution.<br> The success rate for this question was approximately 51%, meaning that 51% of students demonstrated mastery at or above the 60% threshold. One absent student and one student who withdrew from the course were excluded from this calculation. A total of 43 students participated in Quiz 4.<br> For the overall assessment of the SLO based on Quiz 4, the success rate was 95% when absent and withdrawn students were excluded. Note that Question 4 contributed 3 points out of the total 10 points on the quiz.<br> The failure rate for students who did not meet the learning outcome on the selected question was 49%. The meeting expectations rate is based on the assumption that students completed at least 60% of the assignment. | 21 | 0 | 1 | 21 | 2 | To assess the second Student Learning Outcome, I selected a question from Quiz 4 that required students to solve a second order differential equation using the method of reduction of order. The first solution was provided, and students were asked to determine the second linearly independent solution.<br> Upon reviewing the results, I observed several patterns. Some students used an alternative method that we discussed earlier in the course, which is mathematically valid but not aligned with the intended learning objective for this question. Others applied the correct method but made errors in differentiation, simplification, or algebraic calculations. These mistakes suggest that students need additional practice with the procedural steps involved in the reduction of order.<br> Because our class meets online in the evenings and many students work full time, it became clear that they had limited time to practice before the quiz on the topic, which is discussed close to the date of assessment. After providing more opportunities for practice and reinforcement, I included a similar problem on the subsequent exam to support mastery. | Based on my analysis, students struggled primarily with applying the method of reduction of order, so I immediately revisited the technique after the quiz, provided additional practice problems, and included a similar item on the next exam to reassess mastery. <br> Going forward, I will incorporate targeted practice that emphasizes method selection through short exercises asking students to identify the most appropriate solution strategy for a given differential equation without necessarily carrying out the full solution, and I will implement procedural fluency drills focused on differentiation and algebraic simplification to reduce common calculation errors.<br> I will implement structured small group discussions focused on strategy and method selection for solving differential equations: students will work in groups of three to four to analyze a set of brief problem prompts, decide which solution method is most appropriate, such as reduction of order, undetermined coefficients, variation of parameters, or characteristic equation and justify their choice in one or two sentences.<br> To support varied schedules, I will scaffold practice with brief weekly homework sets, a one page checklist, and a short video walkthrough for reduction of order so students can review asynchronously. |

| CHEM | Christopher P Deming | CHEM 1C-25 | 109578 | Apply the principles of equilibrium and thermodynamics to electrochemical systems. | 2025-2026 | Summer | Face-to-Face | Exam Course Test/Qui | Since this topic is broad and covers about 1/4 of the entire class material, there was a quiz and part of the final exam that had material from this topic. I used both of these sources to assess this SLO. | 15 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 0 | Summer quarter is so much different than the other quarters so I think the speed always has an effect. For some, recency is most important, while for others, the time to study and marinade in the material is best. I think the success in summer most boils down to who can keep up the best. | While I do like our electrochemistry lab, we could be doing more in terms of the depth and bredth. So maybe enhancing the hands on aspect of this SLO could help provide more interest and give more exposure to the ideas. |
| CHEM | Christopher P Deming | CHEM 1C-25 | 10957 | Apply the principles of transition metail chemistry to predict outcomes of chemical reactions and physical properties. | 2025-2026 | Summer | Face-to-Face | Exam Course Test/Quiz | The topic in this SLO comes towards the end of the quarter, so the related questions on the final exam are used to evaluate it. | 15 | 7 | 7 | 1 | 0 | This topic is really tricky and different from the rest of chemistry up to that point, so only having one student in the lowest category is great. | This topic is primarily introduced as theory with no related labs. My last response got me thinking that perhaps a TMetal based lab would be beneficial. We use TMetals in other experiments, so even a stronger connection/emphasis might help. |
| CHEM | Christopher P Deming | CHEM 1C-25 | 10957 | Evaluate isotopic decay pathways. | 2025-2026 | Summer | Face-to-Face | Exam Course Test/Qui | This is the very last topic in the quarter, so this SLO is based on 2 final exam questions asking students to determine the likely type of nuclear decay for different nuclei. | 17 | 7 | 5 | 1 | 0 | There were a very low number of students who did not meet the outcome. While it would be good if it were 0, 1 is the next best I guess. | Ive been trying to preview this topic earlier in the quarter to let it sink in more, so I will continue to do that to lessen the amount of new material at the end of the quarter. |
