A new (old?) coupled pendulum experiment
Neil G. R. Broderick, Benjamin Pollard, Karthik Sivasubramanian +2
We present a description and analysis of a coupled pendulum experiment that has been used at the University of Auckland for many years. Although similar experiments are very common…
A Starter Kit for Diversity-Oriented Communities for Undergraduates: Near-Peer Mentorship Programs
Emily J. Griffith, Gloria Lee, Joel C. Corbo +12
This mentoring resource is a guide to establishing and running near-peer mentorship programs. It is based on the working knowledge and best practices developed by the Access Networ…
More than technical support: the professional contexts of physics instructional labs
LM Dana, Benjamin Pollard, Sara Mueller
Most, if not all, physics undergraduate degree programs include instructional lab experiences. Physics lab instructors, both faculty and staff, are instrumental to student learning…
Survey of physics reasoning on uncertainty concepts in experiments: an assessment of measurement uncertainty for introductory physics labs
Michael Vignal, Gayle Geschwind, Benjamin Pollard +3
Measurement uncertainty is a critical feature of experimental research in the physical sciences, and the concepts and practices surrounding measurement uncertainty are important co…
Impact of a course transformation on students' reasoning about measurement uncertainty
Benjamin Pollard, Alexandra Werth, Robert Hobbs +1
Physics lab courses are integral parts of an undergraduate physics education, and offer a variety of opportunities for learning. Many of these opportunities center around a common…
What is interdisciplinarity? Views from students and professors in a non-major intro physics course
Ian Descamps, Thomas Moore, Benjamin Pollard
We present an investigation into the interdisciplinary role of physics in a physics-for-non-physicists course at Pomona College. This work is guided by prior research into introduc…
