Student Interviews
Instrument 4: Student Evaluation of
Molecular Modeling Exercises
Project: Molecular Modeling for the Introductory
Organic Chemistry Courses
San Francisco State University
Funding Source: NSF: Course and Curriculum Development (DUE)
Purpose: To develop molecular modelling/computational
chemistry experiments for use in first-year chemistry courses
Administered To: Students with experience using
the molecular modeling exercises
Topics Covered:
- Course Evaluation: delivery, exemplary areas,
materials, satisfaction
- Impact on Outcomes: student understanding
- Instructional Preferences: assignments
Format/Length: 6 questions total, 5 open-ended
and 1 closed-ended 5-point Likert scale that ranges from "poor"
to "great"
Student Evaluation of Molecular Modeling Exercises
To the Student: We would be grateful for your careful
and thorough responses to the questions in this survey. It
will be helpful in composing your thoughts to do the survey
at home, with the Report Forms from the modeling exercises
available for reference. Feel free to use extra sheets of
paper if you wish. Thanks, in advance, for your help.
- Which of the exercises did you like best? Why?
- Which of the exercises did you like least? Why?
- What aspects of the administration of the exercises
need improvement? For example, you might comment on the
modeling directions, the accompanying lectures, the software,
the physical layout of the computer lab, et cetera.
- Did the exercises help you in your organic lecture course,
that is, C-130, C-333, or C-335? If so, please describe
briefly in what ways you were helped.
- Please give your overall assessment of the molecular
modeling experience by circling the appropriate number.
- Any other comments?
