Please join us for the Physics Colloquium today, at 3:45 PM in The Robert Smith Seminar Room. There will be a reception at 3:30PM in the Atrium. Details concerning the talk are as follows:

Speaker:         Natasha Holmes (Cornell University)
Date:               Tuesday, September 17, 2019
Time:              3:45PM
Place:             1080 Physics Research Building, The Robert Smith Seminar Room
Title:                Why Traditional Labs Fail (and What To Do About It)


Abstract: When you ask physicists to reflect on their intro labs, responses include "boring", "forgettable", or "cookbook." What is so wrong with the traditional lab? In this talk, we'll discuss research that helps illuminate the problems with traditional labs and the impacts on students. We'll then move on to solutions: how do we restructure labs to provide better learning opportunities for our students? We'll discuss how we measure the impact of different techniques, some tactics for using labs to teach experimentation and critical thinking skills, and some examples of restructured lab courses.
