This is the second article in a two-part series examining teaching techniques in college-level physics courses. The first part, which was printed in yesterday's paper, examined some of the bold leaps ...

The lecture is one of the oldest forms of education there is. "Before printing someone would read the books to everybody who would copy them down," says Joe Redish, a physics professor at the ...

A study has found that students are more engaged in laboratory courses that are designed to emphasize and teach experimentation skills (Courtesy:iStock/AlexPotemkin ...

This course focuses on the conceptual aspects of physics and thus uses minimal mathematics. Besides providing exposure to classical, as well as quantum physics, the course also considers the influence ...

Student learning in upper-division physics courses is a growing area of research in the field of Physics Education. Developing effective new curricular materials and pedagogical techniques to improve ...

‘Surprising’ finding: spending 15 minutes, twice a semester, writing about music, family or other things women value helps them perform better in introductory courses As a graduate student in physics ...
