Physics Education Research Journal Club (Co-founder)
Education Research Project
Along with several other graduate students and lecturers in the Physics and Astronomy Department, I am working on an education project to identify successful teaching practices in undergraduate courses. We are applying the COPUS classroom observation protocol and engaging our students in pre- and post- course standardized testing to measure learning gains. We hope to publish our findings in a peer-reviewed educational journal. This work will also comprise a chapter of my PhD thesis.
