In recent courses, I have noticed two troubling practices of physics students. The first is the student response to homework problems. I hear the following kind of statements all too often: "Oh, you ...

For many undergraduate students, exploring the complexities of physics for the first time, from wading through advanced mathematics, to absorbing information in a large lecture format, can be a ...

Take a peek inside a newly renovated physics classroom where students are learning concepts through hands-on activities integrated into lectures. Undergraduate Anna Regan takes part in an introductory ...

In The Physics Teacher, researchers explore the goal of culturally relevant pedagogy, which is to center students' cultural resources as a bridge to learning. It relies on a framework of academic ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...

What if AI became an almost omnipotent wizard?It would write programs, design machines, and operate robots just by being told what you want to create. It would bring to life, one after another, the ...

At the introductory level, student typically study classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism (EM). The upper level physics courses focus on quantum mechanics and then more advanced versions of ...

Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, vastly speeds up computational tasks and enables new technology in areas as broad as speech and image recognition, self-driving cars, stock market ...
