online quiz after each laboratory to assess their conceptual understanding ofthe topic covered in lab that week. The instructor will use the Weekly Reports to tailor thefollowing lecture(s) to address any remaining conceptual difficulties, and to guide revisions ofthe laboratories. Responses to exam questions will then be used to assess students’ understandingonce more.2. Globally: (a) A comprehensive qualitative final exam with multiple choice and short-answer questionswill be given focused on testing students on the learning goals established for the course:knowledge of the concepts of energy levels and probability densities, and how they apply tophysical devices. We will model exam questions after the ones shown in reference 6. (b) Pre

Among survey participants, 86 scored acourse grade of “B” or above. The remaining 46 participants scored “BC” or lower. Thirdly,among the 132 participants, 68 students were asked to indicate their readiness for college physicscourses; of these 37 indicated they were “ready to take college physics” while the remaining 31indicated they were “somewhat ready”. The average course grade for these two groups differs:the “ready” group (nR=37) had a “B” average, and the “somewhat ready” group (nSR=31) had a“BC” average. Finally, most survey participants completed their college education at

byElectrical Engineering and Physics majors.We first introduced “Equations in Words” in our courses as part of homework or in-classproblem packets. We showed students an example of an equation in words to clarify theexpectation that they were not to do a literal translation symbol by symbol but that they had tothink about the physical meaning of the equation. A typical “Equations in Words” problem fromthe Waves unit in Classical Physics II is shown below: Consider the following equation: ∆L = 𝑛 + 1 2 𝜆 n = 0, 1, 2, 3, … a) This equation applies to: b) The variables and their units are: ΔL n λ c) Explain the equation in your own words: d) Draw

new way of controlling the spray can bedeveloped. Synthesis of microfibers with magnetic properties that can be assembled asmagnetically controlled filters can be another interesting idea. Finally, engineering crystalsynthesis by means of electrospray (Fig. 3) is largely an open field in which we have already hadsome interesting results.
