written by Gordon J. Aubrecht, II

Students from different versions of Physics by Inquiry courses (properties of matter, electric circuits, and astronomy by sight and optics) determined most and least characteristic aspects of their classes using the Laboratory Program Variables Inventory (LPVI), a Q-sort instrument. Students generally described these separate courses similarly, but with certain differences. We also compare student rankings with instructor rankings.
