CPERL is looking to hire a postdoc (to work on the active learning intiative grant), graduate students, and undergraduate students. Full-time and part-time opportunities are available. Contact Prof. Holmes for more details.
The physics department was awarded an Active Learning Initiative grant from the college of Arts and Sciences to redesign and evaluate the introductory physics lab courses at Cornell. Professor Natasha Holmes will be PI on the initiative, working with a team of faculty and graduate students to determine learning goals, design activities, and analyze outcomes. Contact Prof. Holmes if you're interested in getting involved in some way.
Professor Heather Lewandowski from CU-Boulder visited us to discuss her work in advanced lab courses. She presented at the LASSP and A&EP seminar about "Engaging Students in Authentic Scientific Practices in Physics Lab Courses".
