Writing to Learn Quantum Engineering: Improved Understanding and Communication by Revising a Writing Assignment
Paper in proceeding, 2016

I present an improved lab-report writing assignment for formative assessment in master’s-level physics. Prompted by poorly written reports in an earlier version of the course, suggesting insufficient subject understanding, I aligned aims, learning objectives, instruction, and assessment, and introduced a component of student peer review. This method enhanced learning of the subject matter, indicated by clearly improved reports.
