Most educational materials are on Canvas homepages. However, some of the materials are designed to be shared --- this page is a repository of those materials. Additionally, this page showcases some of the professional/scholarly activities I've been working on the past few years.



  • Quantum Mechanics Primer

    This 37-page introduction to upper-division quantum mechanics (QM) is to help bridge the gap between the lower- and upper-division QM curriculum. It is designed for the 2nd or 3rd year physics major.

  • Physics HW Problems Written for Pearson

    A collection of 1050 homework problems written for Pearson's online homework system for one of their popular physics textbooks --- "Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach" by Randall Knight. (Popular within with Physics Education Research Community.)

  • Physics Paper based on HW Problem

    A difficult HW problem is explored in depth in this paper, elucidating the distinction between impulse & work (momentum vs. energy).

  • Problems in Introductory Physics, Free-Use

    This (free!) book is a collection of homework problems for use in an introductory physics course. There is a complete set of ancillary materials, including solutions and an online answer checker. Used internationally.

  • Pre-Lecture Reading Videos

    Videos posted to YouTube to guide students through their reading assignments (going through the textbook, section-by-section).

  • In-Class Clicker Questions, Upper-Division Statistical Mechanics

    In-class discussion ("clicker") questions for statmech, shared with other universities.



Current Project: Student Preferences for MC vs FR Exam Questions

This ongoing project explores students' preferences for vs. performance on various types of exam questions.
