The University of Minnesota is funded by the Bush Foundation to enhance student learning though a scholarly and collaborative approach that includes innovative teaching strategies and assessment. The focus of the work on the Duluth Campus is to promote independent and self-regulated learners and reflective instructors. This study involved students in a physical chemistry course. Student surveys were designed to prompt student self assessment associated with quizzes and exams, probe their study strategies and priorities especially in response to self assessment and identify factors that have a detrimental impact on student success. In addition, these surveys helped the instructor modify course structure and activities in order to increase student learning.
