Welcome to Leah Scharlott and Kevin Hunter, our newest PhD students!

To engage meaningfully with scientific models, undergraduate students must come to understand what counts as a scientific model and why.

Congrats to Kat on passing her comprehensive exam for her M.A. in Educational Measurement and Statistics!

The Becker Group welcomes Emily Amato, our newest undergraduate researcher! 

We celebrated group successes and welcomed prospective graduate students during lunch at Big Grove.

Undergraduate general chemistry courses typically feature a substantial amount of mathematical problem solving. Research shows that many students approach mathematical problem solving algorithmically and without recognition of either the assumptions and limitations of such models or their relationship to the particulate level.
