Resource Letter ALC-1: Advanced Laboratory Courses
Walter Fox Smith · American Journal of Physics · 2024
Advanced laboratory courses play several essential roles in the undergraduate curriculum, including the development of students into independent experimentalists. This Resource Letter provides an overview of the typical structure and learning goals of advanced laboratory courses. It then details the books, organizations, online resources, equipment vendors, and assessment tools that are available to support such courses. There are so many journal articles on this topic that it is impractical to summarize them in this article, although several of the most central ones are highlighted. Instead, a categorized database of these articles has been created and will be kept updated.
