"20 Years of Matter and Interactions at Purdue – The Journey Continues"
September 25, 2017 @ 4:00 pm in TCCW 201
Abstract
About 20 years ago, the Purdue physics department adopted Matter and Interactions for our majors as well as the approximately 2500 first-year engineering students. Over the course of the past 20 years, we’ve strived to continually improve the quality of the course. I will share our experience as well as describe the results of a “deep dive” in attempting to understand why students, who on paper should pass, receive a D.
