    expectations of college and helping them fill in the gaps they did not realize existed. Our research will continue throughout the year, as we explore how students’ research confidence changes over the course of their first year. We encourage faculty to learn more by visiting Project Information Literacy, which examines the information literacy habits of college students. We also encourage faculty to meet with a librarian when developing research assignments. And we recommend using an instructional designer

  • Platform Support Policy The university recognizes that faculty have diverse needs for academic computing resources and wishes to provide centralized support whenever possible. This desire must be tempered with the recognition that university resources are limited, and not every request can be met.

  • Bret Underwood is an Assistant Professor in Physics, currently teaching a two-course Mathematical Physics sequence.

    the same time, he has become interested in the role of technology and the internet in distributing media and information to students. The fusion of these two interests has led him to completely change the structure of his Mathematical Physics courses to a more student-centered model. What is one instructional technique or project that is particularly effective, innovative, or engaging? “I want my students to become independent learners who are able to ‘think like a physicist’. To enable this, I

In the future, it may improve lithium-ion batteries.Currently, most lithium-ion batteries use an organic liquid (made of
