Rough Notebook Proof-of-PracticeClass Activity12-11-2025Innovation: Replaced formal assignments with the "Rough Notebook Proof-of-Practice" system for assessment. Rationale: To reinforce the procedural knowledge (synthesis, mechanisms) that requires iterative practice and error correction. Assessment Mechanism: Activity marks awarded based on the consistent and thorough documentation of practice (problem attempts, mechanism drawing) in the rough notebook. Core Shift: Moved student focus from rote memorization and final products to the ongoing learning process and skill development. Outcomes: Resulted in significantly higher engagement, improved conceptual understanding, and a boost in the ability to work through complex organic reaction schemes independently.Chemistry Honours Students
