Institutionalizing reform in introductory physics
We examine how the University of Colorado at Boulder has created the sustained the use of a research-based curriculum in the introductory calculus-based physics sequence, despite the significant increases in cost and time commitment. The adoption of the University of Washington Tutorials in Introductory Physics [1] curriculum required significant pedagogical shifts in the students’ role, educat...

the present study aimed to investigate representation of discourse markers and metadiscourse markers in conversations and readings of general elt coursebook series used in the language centers of iran. to this aim, four elt coursebooks popularly taught in language centers of this country were analyzed based on fung and carter’s (2007) framework regarding discourse markers and hyland’s (2005) fr...
Addition Laws in Introductory Physics
We propose a unified approach to addition of some physical quantities (among which resistors and capacitors are the most well-known) that are usually encountered in introductory physics such that the formulæ required to solve problems are always simply additive. This approach has the advantage of being consistent with the intuition of students. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, ...

متن کاملPlasma physics: an introductory survey
A plasma is an ionised gas in which the nearest neighbour interactions between the electrically-charged constituents (negatively-charged electrons and positivelycharged ions, which are in equal numbers so as to maintain overall electrical neutrality) is dominated by the long-range interactions of many ‘distant’ particles. In fact, many plasmas contain a significant number of unionised neutral a...
