The Role of Skill Assessments in an Undergraduate Non‐Majors Biochemistry Lab Course

Non‐majors lab courses tend to enroll students of varying skill and engagement levels, and students often find it challenging to focus both on the goals and principles of their experiments, as well as the development of lab skills. Practical skills assessments are time consuming to implement, and can be stressful to students, which can impact their performance in the course. However, precision and accuracy in lab skills leads to more reliable experimental data, which was hypothesized would increase student engagement and overall knowledge gains in addition to development of core competencies.
