Meet our new summer undergrad members
We’d like to welcome Safron and Sydni who are all awesome undergrads working with us this summer. Safron is a senior undergraduate student who is majoring in Chemistry at the University of Minnesota – Morris. As a part of her involvement with the McNair Scholars Program, she is conducting undergraduate research with the #ShultzSquad this…
Congrats to Eleni and Jordan on their new manuscript
Eleni and Jordan’s paper, University instructors’ knowledge for teaching organic chemistry mechanisms, is now available in CERP. In this study, Eleni and Jordan interviewed chemistry GTAs and faculty members, during which participants completed three mechanism questions from organic chemistry I exams and evaluated authentic student responses to the same question. Through qualitative analysis of interview…
