| Abstract Title: | Assessing student learning of error propagation in the undergraduate lab |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | A pre- and post- survey was conducted during an introductory calculus-based physics course to assess students' basic skills in error-propagation. Additionally, students participated in a "think-pair-share" activity during the course. Overall, based on the surveys, students improved, especially in the case where they did not have any misconceptions initially. Qualitative assessment of the think-pair-share activity contrasts with the results of the post-survey. |
