Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to invite you to participate in a chemistry education research project to learn more about your students’ conceptual understanding of important chemistry topics.
Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, my graduate students and I have developed two concept inventories for use in college chemistry classrooms. These assessments are suitable for general chemistry, physical chemistry, and biophysical chemistry. Brief descriptions of these multiple-choice assessments can be found below.
