SETI Observations of Exoplanets with the Allen Telescope Array
G. R. Harp, Jon Richards, Jill C. Tarter +11
We report radio SETI observations on a large number of known exoplanets and other nearby star systems using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). Observations were made over about 19000…
Research-based assessment of students' beliefs about experimental physics: When is gender a factor?
Bethany R. Wilcox, H. J. Lewandowski
The existence of gender differences in student performance on conceptual assessments and their responses to attitudinal assessments has been repeatedly demonstrated. This differenc…
Alternative model for the administration and analysis of research-based assessments
Bethany R. Wilcox, Benjamin M. Zwickl, Robert D. Hobbs +3
Research-based assessments represent a valuable tool for both instructors and researchers interested in improving undergraduate physics education. However, the historical model for…
