Alisha presented her seminar!

Big congratulations to Alisha for giving an amazing seminar titled: “Evidence of Student Learning in the Chemistry Laboratory”. She discussed studies done by Michael Seery (1) and Nicole Graulich (2) to dissect two overarching goals for undergraduate students in the chemistry lab: the development of critical thinking skills and experimental design skills, and the mastery of laboratory skills and techniques. Post-presentation there was lots of discussion and many good questions from a captivated audience. Overall a very engaging and superb presentation! Awesome work Alisha!
