| Abstract Title: |
Designing Writing Intensive Upper Division Laboratories in Physics |
| Abstract: |
"Communicating Physics" forms part of the AAPT Recommendations for the Undergraduate Physics Laboratory Curriculum, and writing falls squarely within this domain. Over the last several years, our department has revised our upper division laboratory curriculum to meet our university's Writing Intensive designation. Here, I will share the architecture of our third- and fourth-year lab courses and strategies used to introduce and discuss aspects of scientific writing into these courses. This includes a focus on having students practice professional forms of writing, such as journal articles, experimental proposals, and peer review. Class time is also dedicated to introducing students to ways that science can be communicated to non-expert audiences and the role that writing plays in how physics is "done". |
