Review of HE chemistry experience
Higher Education Academy Physical Sciences Centre invites chemistry lecturers and their undergraduates to contribute to its review of the student learning experience in chemistry
The Higher Education Academy Physical Sciences (HEAPS) Centre is inviting chemistry lecturers and their undergraduates to contribute to its review of the student learning experience in chemistry. The review aims to answer the question: what is it like being a chemistry student in 2008?.
The need to maintain levels of student recruitment and retention in HE chemistry, a subject recognised by the Government as strategically important and vulnerable, has led to an increase in curriculum development activity and in the design of innovative programmes. This is also supported by initiatives such as the HEFCE-funded Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)-led initiative Chemistry for our future. Consequently, there is a need to understand how chemistry is taught in universities, whether innovative teaching and assessment and best practice are being shared, and whether the needs of industry and government are being met.
