kindof certification. Formative assessment refers to all the activities undertaken by teachers and bytheir students in assessing themselves to provide information to be used as feedback to modifyteaching and learning activities. (Black, 1998) Three main problems about assessments arepointed out in the article named “Working inside the black box: Assessment for learning in the Page 24.591.3classroom” (Black, 2004): a. the assessment methods that teachers use are not effective inpromoting good learning; b. grading practices tend to emphasize competition rather thanpersonal improvement; c. assessment feedback often has a negative impact

carefully crafted set of interview questions wasdeveloped. The thrust of the questions remained essentially identical, with the wordingmodified slightly based on whether the interviewee was a student or a practicingprofessional. The corresponding set of interview questions for each population ofparticipants can be found in Appendices A and B. Each interview was audio recorded andthen later transcribed.Transcribed interviews were rearranged into a master file that separated each response byquestion. To separate the identity of the participant from their response, each intervieweewas given a code letter. After the data was organized, responses were first analyzed tosearch for emergent themes. The most relevant questions and the data accompanyingthem

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.

As a result, most of their homework submissionslacked organization, neat solutions, good spacing, and, more importantly, the evidence of theirthought process. In the Fall semester, students were provided format rules and directions tocomplete their hand-written homework assignment along with online submission. The layout andinstructions used in E&M course is as follows: Given, Find, Figure, Assumptions, Plan,Estimate, Solution, and Discussion.

Excerpt from An Alternative Approach to Teaching Waves Matter has mass All matter is made of atoms. Atoms can combine to form elements, which in turn can combine to form molecules such as H2O, which in turn can combine to form different substances, such as ice, water, and steam. Each atom is itself made up of different combinations of subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, and electrons. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Even subatomic particles such as the proton and electron have some mass (approximately 1.67 × 10-27 kg and 9.11 × 10

Page 24.125.9Using Excel and VBA for instrument communication was implemented for the first time in theSpring 2014 offering of Sensor Lab. Because it is anticipated that students will be interested inthis “little known” feature of Excel, and motivated to investigate further for their ownapplications, some time will be devoted to VBA programming. The order of presentation is: A. Introduction to VBA. Writing simple functions and macros. B. Subroutines; using controls and buttons in VBA. C. Creation of UserForms.At this point, students will shift to constructing a temperature sensor. Once its operation isverified, they will use Excel/VBA with a DAQ to monitor the sensor’s output. D.

Ourassessment of student attitudes is based on two instruments: One is a pre-post surveyadministered to all students who attended the UNITE program during the summer of 2008 andthe other is an online Flashlight survey accessible to all students who participated in the programover the past three years. Our rationale for implementing these surveys was to determine theeffectiveness of this interactive-engagement curriculum in (a) motivating students to take physicsclasses in high school, (b) motivating students to take advanced placement (AP

. 7For the past 19 years we have posed a set of similar problems to all incoming engineering andscience students taking introductory physics. The problems involve the analysis of velocity as afunction of time graphs, v(t), for the one dimensional motion of six identical objects. Theseproblems are based upon the work of Arons found in Ref.1. Using graphs of velocity as afunction of time allows us to ask questions regarding information that can be directly obtainedfrom the graph, as well as what can be gleaned from the derivative and integral of the graph. Asan example we show below in Fig. 2 the graphs given to students during the winter term of 2015. A B
