Nate Grosz
Graduate student in Physics
Nate joined our group in Spring 2012. Since then Nate was involved in collaborative research project focusing on using the Bloom's taxonomy as a basis for characterizing the cognitive levels required by students to demonstrate acquired knowledge and skills on exams in college-level science courses. Nate is also involved in the Confirmation bias project.
- Nate discusses Physics of Waves with elementary school students
- The kids are doing great!
Nate presented results of his collaborative work at the Nation AAPT Summer meeting in Philadelphia, PA, 2012.
A poster was presented at the Physics Education Research Conference, in Philadelphia, PA, 2012.
A research paper is submitted for publication in CBE-Life Science Education Journal.
J. Momsen, E. Offerdahl, M. Kryjevskaia, L. Montplaisir, E. Anderson, and N. Grosz, "Using assessments to investigate and compare the nature of learning in undergraduate science courses," submitted to CBE - LIfe Sciences Education, August 2012, accepted with modifications.
Nate enjoys participating in outreach activities organized by our department under the leadership of Dr. Denton. On the pictures at right, Nate discusses the physics of waves with elementary school students. The kids are doing great!

Cody Gette
Undergraduate student
Cody joined our group in Fall 2012, during his senior year at NDSU. Cody contributed to our project focused on investigation of student abilities to interpret and apply multi-variable expressions in introductory Physics courses.
Cody presented results of his work at the 5th Annual Undergraduate poster session and at the Physics Department seminar, NDSU.
Cody also gave an oral presentation at the Nation AAPT Winter meeting in Ontario, CA, 2012.
Cody's research with our group became a topic of his Capstone Project.
Cody was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Assistant award by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). He was awarded a one-year subscription to the AAPT, and was presented with an AAPT certificate of achievement.
Cody was twice awarded the prestigious Astronaut Scholarship Foundation scholarship, once in the 2010-2011 academic year, and once in the 2011-2012 academic year. Dr. Orven Swenson, with whom Cody was working at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering, nominated Cody both times.
In Winter 2012, Cody participated in the international Snow Sculpture Competition. Enjoy Cody's pictures on the right
Currently, Cody is a graduate student in Astrophysics at the University of Bonn, Germany.
