Prelecture Questions and Conceptual Testing in Undergraduate Condensed Matter Courses
written by
Chris D. Porter, Abigail M. Bogdan, and Andrew F. Heckler
Prelecture questions have long been used in a variety of courses within STEM to motivate prelecture reading and to help class time be used more efficiently. It is difficult to incorporate prelecture questions into many advanced topics courses and to determine their effectiveness, due to the necessary content knowledge within specialized areas, and due to the small number of students enrolled in these courses. Here, we report on the implementation of a set of approximately 110 prelecture questions over two years of instruction in a special topics course in condensed matter physics. We report quantitatively on student difficulties with different prelecture questions and on their improvement on a survey of condensed matter concepts given at the beginning and end of the course. We report qualitatively on interviews with students in a graduate condensed matter course.
