The last week and this week my students were asked to fill in a questionaire, first individually with the DBC-Project in focus, and secondly in groups of four discussing and noting how to learn Chemistry in general with a focus on metacognitive aspects. The activity of the students, but not the actual transcripts, in the second part was assessed and taken into account for the final grading of their Chemistry 2-course.

The results of this evaluation process gave both the students and me a certain amount of new insights on the role of DBC and other activities in the learning and teaching process This was certainly was the purpose of all these Google Forms. One of the two students with pending failing grades F actually participated to a certain extent in the evaluation process. Also, two students raised their grade from balancing between, or rather below, D and C, to a clear C. Our passing grades go from E to A, with A being the highest grade, and F denoting a failing grade,

The evaluation process thus gave a closure to the DBC-Project. Furthermore, it met one of the previously mentioned and certainly also intended goals of the endeavour into digital communication as a part of a Chemistry course.

If you are able to read Swedish, and are interested in details, I can surely mail the corresponding Excel-files. Just let me know on anders.hansson@rudbeck.se.
