Redox Concept Inventory (ROXCI)
Purpose
Redox Concept Inventory (ROXCI) was developed to assess the understanding and confidence level of students about oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction with common related themes such as oxidation numbers, surface features, electron transfer, spectator ions, dynamics reaction process, and electrostatics and bonding.
Population
ROXCI is administered in undergraduate chemistry courses (general chemistry and organic chemistry).
Typical Performance
We have not performed an analysis of the LASSO data for typical performance, but the literature study shows that the assessment can be generalized to test the understanding and misconceptions of students.
