Resumen de Integration of a Communicating Science Module into an Advanced Chemistry Laboratory Course
Christopher Squier, Jessica Renaud, Sarah C. Larsen
A communicating science module was introduced into an advanced undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory course. The module was integrated into the course such that students received formal instruction in communicating science interwoven with the chemistry laboratory curriculum. The content of the communicating science module included three units: communicating science to different audiences, oral and poster presentation skills, and interviews and the press. To demonstrate their communicating science skills, students prepared poster and oral presentations on laboratory experiments conducted in the course. The oral and poster presentations replaced written laboratory reports for two of the experiments.
