Developing Tutorials for Advanced Physics Students: Processes and Lessons Learned
Charles Baily, Michael Dubson, Steven J. Pollock
When education researchers describe newly developed curricular materials, they typically concentrate on the research base behind their design, and the efficacy of the final product…
Multiple-choice Assessment for Upper-division Electricity and Magnetism
Bethany R. Wilcox, Steven J. Pollock
The Colorado Upper-division Electrostatics (CUE) diagnostic was designed as an open-ended assessment in order to capture elements of student reasoning in upper-division electrostat…
Constructing a Multiple-Choice Assessment For Upper-Division Quantum Physics From An Open-Ended Tool
Homeyra Sadaghiani, John Miller, Steven Pollock +1
As part of an ongoing investigation of student learning in upper-division quantum mechanics, we needed a high-quality conceptual assessment instrument for comparing outcomes of dif…
Analytic Framework for Students' Use of Mathematics in Upper-Division Physics
Bethany R. Wilcox, Marcos D. Caballero, Daniel A. Rehn +1
Many students in upper-division physics courses struggle with the mathematically sophisticated tools and techniques that are required for advanced physics content. We have develope…
Assessing Student Learning in Middle-Division Classical Mechanics/Math Methods
Marcos D. Caballero, Steven J. Pollock
Reliable and validated assessments of introductory physics have been instrumental in driving curricular and pedagogical reforms that lead to improved student learning. As part of a…
A Model for Incorporating Computation Without Changing the Course: An example from middle-division classical mechanics
Marcos D. Caballero, Steven J. Pollock
Much of the research done by modern physicists would be impossible without the use of computation. And yet, while computation is a crucial tool of practicing physicists, physics cu…
