An Almost-Covering Threshold for Golomb-Ruler Difference Packings
Chaohang Ma, Xiangjie Yi
For a fixed integer , consider families of -mark Golomb rulers whose positive-difference sets are pairwise disjoint and contained in . Let be the larges…
Grades, equity and graduation rates: a quantitative analysis of the association of learning assistants with improved student outcomes
Cassandra Paul, David Webb
The paper applies multilevel modeling to ten introductory STEM courses to assess how the presence of Learning Assistants is linked to higher pass rates, retention, and graduation,…
Missing Data on Physics Exams: Demographic Patterns, Course-Level Predictions, and Implications for Equity
Cassandra Paul, David J. Webb, Mary Kate Chessey
In a previous quantitative retrospective study we showed that different demographic groups of students leave different numbers of problems blank on physics exams, leading to inequi…
High stakes exams inflate a gender gap and contribute to systematic grading errors in one introductory physics series
David J. Webb, Cassandra A. Paul
Previous research has suggested that changing the percentage of the course grade associated with exam grades in STEM courses can change the gender gap in the course. It has also be…
Examining teaching assistant pedagogies in traditional laboratories and recitations
Eric M. Hickok, Cassandra A. Paul
Physics education research has consistently shown that students have higher learning outcomes when enrolled in active learning courses. However, while there is a lot of literature…
Course Deficit Model and the CLASP curriculum: Examining equity and graduation rates at two institutions
Cassandra A. Paul, David J. Webb
We have previously described the reformed introductory physics course, Collaborative Learning through Active Sense-Making in Physics (CLASP), for bioscience students at a large pub…
