Field tests alternative practical examinations for laboratory skills, suggesting shortcomings in traditional evaluations.
We have developed several alternative practical laboratory examinations for the beginning organic chemistry course and have field tested these laboratory exercises as a component of the final examination in the laboratory component of that course. Data correlating practicum scores with overall scores in the laboratory course show significant scatter, suggesting to us possible shortcomings in the traditional methods of evaluation of laboratory skills.
