1. Changes in confidence, experience and knowledge What happens in a beginning collaborative chemistry course

2. First Case Study Beginning chemistry course using collaboration, inquiry and presentation Undergrads from all schools but mainly from the Lit School and from the Engineering School Looking at differences over time in perceptions of confidence, experience and knowledge

3. Themes of:Lab, Inquiry, Collaboration Confidence low Knowledge high

4. Split by the two schools, Engineering Literature, science and the arts Significant differences in all except collaboration

5. End of the course, different shape! Experience gained relatively more than confidence and knowledge

6. Second Case Study Graduate research methods course using collaboration, skills, analysis and creation Mostly doctoral students but some masters Looking at differences over time in perceptions of knowledge, experience and confidence

7. Same shape Something different about middle of the course collaboration Themes of:Analysis, Skills, Collaboration, Creation

8. Female-male Difference due to females at middle of course working on collaboration females, middle of course

9. Female-male Difference due to females at middle of course working on collaboration females, middle of course 2.25 2.5 2.75 3 3.25 3.5 3.75 4 4.25 Analysis: f Analysis: m Skills: f Skills: m Collaboration: f Collaboration: m Creation: f Creation: m start middle end

10. Overall conclusions Looking at changes in shape of profiles of confidence, experience and knowledge provides powerful insights. Whether the profiles are parallel or change, it’s possible to find unique locations or shapes that can lead to finding a correcting problems
