Listers (with apologies for those who read more than one list):
In our discussion about bringing safety topics into the curriculum, an Instructor asked about student learning goals (SLOs, as my teacher friends say).
This is a first shot at organizing my thoughts. I realize I’ve loaded a lot onto the G-CHEM student. Should some topics be reserved for the second year lab students? I’d really appreciate
your input on this.
Wishing you the best always,
Sheila
