Ability group configuration for the high school physics classroom
Zitnik, Scott (Northern Illinois University, 2017)This research project looks to investigate the effectiveness of different ability grouping arrangements for the high school physics classroom. Students were first organized based on their academic aptitude in physics into ... -
A dedicated quality control test stand for the g-2 tracker system
Epps, Aaron (Northern Illinois University, 2017)The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment will measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon to a precision goal of 140 parts per billion, which is a factor of four improvement over the previous E821 measurement at Brookhaven. ... -
The Effect of Calculus-Based TLC Physics Students’ Performance on the Force Concept Inventory
Hashimoto, Wataru (Northern Illinois University, 2015-05)The current study will focus on the impact of a calculus and physics Themed Learning Community (TLC) in order to compare to non-TLC sections on the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), which tests student’s conceptual understanding ... -
Exploring the relationship among students' preconceptions, attitudes, and major
Dwyer, Matthew (Northern Illinois University, 2019)The Force Concept Inventory, (a multiple-choice classical mechanics exam given as a pre-test within the first two weeks of a course and as a post-test within the last two weeks of a course) is one of the most widely used ... -
The slow control system for the Fermilab muon g-2 E989 experiment
McEvoy, Michael (Northern Illinois University, 2016)The New Muon g-2 experiment (E989) at Fermilab will measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment, amu. E989 aims to measure amu to a precision of 0.14 parts-per-million, a factor of four improvement over the previous ...
