    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    This talk will discuss my research in data science and astrophysics. We will investigate our Milky Way Galaxy and have a short discussion of how data science can be used to detect faint and sparse objects such as the dwarf satellites and streams that helped form the galaxy we live in. When trying to make detections of these mysterious stars, the advent of greater cloud computing capability...

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    We report the results on the self-evaluation tools used in Canadian STEM outreach activities reported by representatives for English-language NSERC PromoScience programs. The approaches to evaluation are categorized such as output vs. outcome, quantitative vs. qualitative, metrics vs. surveys, and general vs. specific. While qualitative answers are useful for informing changes to the...

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral not-in-competition (Graduate Student) / Orale non-compétitive (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Graduate student teaching assistants (GTAs) fill many roles in undergraduate education: grading exams and assignments, facilitating laboratory sessions, and leading tutorials, among others. Since GTAs have a high degree of interaction with students in each of these roles, their understanding of educational practices is critical to improving student understanding of course material. Improving...

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    Introductory physics courses are required at McMaster for students in three different streams: physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences. While students in the engineering stream are required to take the physics course for their stream, most students in the Faulty of Science can choose between taking physics for life sciences or for the physical sciences, where both options meet all...
