achieved, as judged by the students. • How can we improve this course? • Which experiments provide more stimulation, thus making them more enjoyable. II. Laboratory Teaching ApproachThe class was divided into groups of two students for each experiment. The first week of the coursewas dedicated to covering some important concepts of physics relevant to the experiments. Whileconducting the experiments the students were required to plot as they take data, typically afterevery three data points, in order to decide where to take the next few data points. Upon completionof each section of an experiment, interactive discussions were employed between students and theinstructors. This step-by-step method of checking the students

The course traditionally supported several majors and differentprogramming languages through separate sections, including the Fortran and C languages, with alecture and laboratory component that combined for 3 or 4 credits. Previous faculty memberstook different approaches about the content and learning objectives of the course, leading toinconsistent learning outcomes for students. This also made it difficult for departments to predictthe programming skills their students would have in future classes; invested

Each laboratory session started with a discussion moderated by theinstructor and teaching assistant aimed at establishing a layout for the circuit or a template forthe design of the experiment.Two laboratory sections enrolled 23 and 24 students respectively, who completed six “one-session” laboratories and two mini-projects spread over several weeks (electromyogramamplifier and blood pressure monitor).

used in ourlaboratory course. For example, a Progressive Paper was used in a chemistry capstone course,in which students wrote a large laboratory report in sections, resulting in a complete paper at theend of the semester (Van Bramer & Bastin, 2013). The students received detailed feedback aftereach section, which they could use to revise the section as well as apply it to future sections.Breaking the laboratory report into parts and spreading the work out demonstrated to studentshow to keep the project manageable. Coinciding with this, the successive draft submissionsshowed significant score improvements over time, and the students and instructors valued theexperience. In fact, teaching a process approach to writing can support students
