Description
Integrating workplace skills in large-enrollment classrooms can be challenging, even with the support of teaching assistants (TA). Using formative feedback from both students and TAs, the instructor developed resources and modified classroom facilitation to encourage development of workplace skills in an active learning Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) organic chemistry course. The resources developed include TA training activities, workplace skill rubrics, and course materials.
