Research Interests My long-term research interests include understanding how assessments are constructed and used and how this impacts decisions. I am also interested in understanding how students at the college, novice-level process information about STEM concepts, and how that processing relates to performance and persistence in their major. Specific research projects include: • Implementing new methods of assessment and data investigation for multiple choice items including:
o Investigating differential item functioning (DIF) for subgroups based on gender. Possible DIF is identified when two subgroups are matched on a relevant internal or external criterion and there is a high probability that both subgroups do not perform equivalently on a particular item or groups of items (which can be grouped based on content or construct).
o Using scaled performance as a combination of complexity and raw performance overall and within big ideas of the undergraduate program to understand better what students may know within content areas.
o National scoring comparisons based on the use of criterion referencing and norm-referencing and how this can be communicated to instructors through reporting.
o Pairing items (in same specific content area) both as algorithmic versus conceptual as well as increasing complexity
• Testing and developing a student’s sense of scale and association down to the nanometer through the use of experimental experiences, supplemental instruction and active learning classroom instruction.
• Development and testing of instruments to measure a student’s self-efficacy and outcome expectations in introductory chemistry courses as a contributing component for persistence. A persistence model is in development based on the merging of these measures with performance.
• Processing studies using eye-tracking technology to investigate response process and the use of heuristics by students when solving multiple-choice exam items.
• Implementing new teaching methodologies in the classroom and studying their effectiveness through carefully controlled experiments and data collection this includes: • Use of active learning in large lecture courses • Use of assessments during lecture to develop information about student schema development • Use of assessments during lecture to encourage students to more accurately assess their mental
effort on their problem solving abilities and their understanding of a chemistry concept and use this information to better tailor a study strategy for exam assessment.
• Using practice final exams for 100-level chemistry students to study how feedback to students (either immediate or delayed) enhances subsequent performance on a standardized final exam.

Professional Experience (continued) Assistant Professor University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee August, 2008 – June, 2014 Senior lecturer University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee August, 2007 – August, 2008 Lecturer University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee 2005 – 2007 Associate Lecturer University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee 2002 – 2004 Lecturer Alverno College 2002 Teaching Assignments Fifteen lecture sections of Chemical Science (average of 183 students per section)
Chemical Science is a preparatory chemistry course designed for students with little or no chemistry background. The very basics of chemistry are discussed along with stresses on problem solving, critical reading/thinking, proportional reasoning, and study skills. A year-long investigation into active learning in a large lecture classroom of preparatory chemistry students showed that the its use is effective in increasing student understanding of content knowledge as shown on assessments compared to the students in the traditional lecture classroom.
Six lecture sections of General Chemistry for Engineering Students (average 94 students per section) General Chemistry for Engineering Students is general chemistry for engineering majors. This course combines much of the content from the two semester traditional general chemistry course into one semester. Additionally, many concepts which are taught are applied into “real-world” engineering scenarios.
Seventeen lecture section of General Chemistry I (first semester of a general chemistry in a two-part sequence) (average of 165 students per lecture section)
Four lecture sections of Basic Chemistry for Teachers (average 56 students per section) Basic Chemistry for Teachers is an introductory for education majors with an interest in the elementary education classroom. This course stresses the importance of learning the most basic fundamentals to chemistry and science and how these can apply to the National Science Education Standards. The students are required to carefully read and report on the National Science Education Standards (in a written submission) and also implement the standards into an inquiry based science lesson for a grade of their choosing.
Three lecture section of General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis (second semester of general
chemistry in a two-part sequence) (average 106 students per section)
