The choice of topic should be discussed with Dr. Zollman before you begin. The final project is your opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned and the quality of your understanding. Thus, it should include information from all aspects of the course as well as the literature in physics education. Work through the materials and analyze them in terms of all of the topics discussed during the semester. The project needs to address issue which are discussed during class and must follow proper research techniques.
Most projects are likely to involve interactions with students.
Thus, you will need to start early. Proposals for research projects must be discussed with Dr. Zollman no later than October 16. If an assignment is labelled collaborative, you may collaborate with one other student to complete the assignment. If you choose a collaboration, you and your partner will submit one assignment that represents both of your work. You are not limited to paper and ink but may use any available resource including World Wide Web, audio - and videotape, digital audio and video, etc.
