Abstract
We describe a new approach to our first-year lab that has an eight-week formative
learning part followed by a summative application in a four-week project. A key feature
is that students perform some experiments at home and bring the data to class for
discussion and analysis. Performance on our diagnostic test shows that students are
generally learning the specific scientific skills that are targeted in our labs.
