~~NOTOC~~

====== Design, Analysis, Tools & Apprenticeship (DATA) Laboratory =======

DATA Lab is the transformed version of the traditional, algebra-based physics laboratory that focuses on developing students’ laboratory practices. As most of the students enrolled in the course are non-physical science majors, the goal of this course is for the students to develop research skills unique to a physics laboratory that can be utilized throughout the rest of their studies.

===== Student Materials =====

Instructional materials have been developed by members of [[http://www.pa.msu.edu/research/physics-education-lab|MSU's Physics Education Research Lab]] as well as faculty in MSU's [[http://pa.msu.edu/|Department of Physics and Astronomy]]. Materials are refined based on instructors' experiences, student feedback, and educational research conducted at MSU and elsewhere. Please send comments, feedback, and typos to [[user:caballero|Danny Caballero]].

===== Tutor Resources=====

{{wiki:edit.png?64 }}The development of course materials and instructional strategies is on-going. Research studies conducted at MSU and elsewhere inform changes to course material and instructional strategies. Access to planning materials is limited to course and research staff.
