Various kinds of problems in an electricity and magnetism assessment within an introductory physics course for chemistry majors

Original language description

We describe an assessment in the introductory physics course for chemistry major students with the focus on solving problems from the electricity and magnetism. We summarize the experiences obtained during the academic years 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 from a multiple-choice test passed by 390 chemistry majors at the Faculty of Science in Olomouc. Various kinds of quiz problems were used, which can divided into three categories: conceptual questions, numerical questions, questions with chart reading and interpretation. In our study we summarize assessment data and identify the score difference achieved in mentioned problem categories. The results did not prove that conceptual problems were more difficult for our set of students, but suggest, that students more successful in the whole test reach better scores in graph reading questions.
