Results of Laboratory Course Assessment Survey (LCAS). Students completed the LCAS at the end of the semester (n = 42). Students were asked to evaluate statements related to collaboration (A), discovery and relevance (B), and iteration (C). Each graph shows the percentage of students responding to the statement with a given answer. (A) Students responded to statements regarding collaboration during the course with responses reflecting the frequency at which they were asked to complete particular activities. Student response options plotted include unanswered (white), never (dark red), prefer not to answer (orange), I don’t know (gray), once or twice (lightest blue), monthly (medium blue), and weekly (dark blue). (B) Students responded to statements regarding discovery and relevance during the course with responses reflecting their perception of what they were expected to do. Student response options included unanswered (white), not applicable (orange), strongly disagree (dark red), disagree (red), neither agree nor disagree (gray), agree (light blue), and strongly agree (dark blue). (C) Students responded to statements regarding iteration during the course with responses reflecting whether time was provided for particular activities. Student response options included unanswered (white), not applicable (orange), strongly disagree (dark red), disagree (light red), neither agree nor disagree (gray), agree (light blue), and strongly agree (dark blue).
