 A fun fact… Once I played on a randomly assembled basketball team—composed of sixth graders. I was the last kid to show up to the first practice. When the other kids saw me, they all started screaming, “What’s your name?”. When I said Joshua, they all started screaming. Shortly after, I learned that every person on my new team was named Joshua. A fun fact… Once I played on a randomly assembled basketball team—composed of sixth graders.

-**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Write down everything. Draw diagrams. Take advantage of the group setting. Have discussions, and don't be afraid to state your own opinion and understanding of something even if you think it might be incorrect. It's easy to get lost in the sauce when working on problems, so make sure to take good notes before you come to class as they will be your best friend.   
- 
-**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Help Room is such a chill environment to discuss concepts you’re struggling with or even to just sit and do your LON-CAPA work. Make sure to get all your group members’ contacts! They were always my go-to, even prior group members. You will have a day or two where you didn't take notes beforehand, so you get overwhelmed during class. No worries, just be honest with your groupmates (they will be understanding) and come to the help room while the problem is still fresh in your mind. Talking about it makes all the difference.

 +
 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Reach out to your groupmates or other people you know in the class, talk to your LA, and go to help room.

 +
 +
 +**Future plans**: I plan to go to grad school to get a PhD in astrophysics, and then see where the road leads.
 +
 +
 +**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Make sure to study before class and go to the help rooms if you're ever struggling. Also, make sure to communicate with your group; you're all there to help each other through the problems!
 +
 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: If you're struggling, never feel bad about reaching out to your group leader. There are help rooms throughout the whole week that are a huge asset, and if you can't make it to them there is also the piazza forum for any questions!

 +==== Ian Stewart  ====
 +{{course_planning:ian.s.jpg?300}}
 +
 +**Major**: Mechanical Engineering
 +
 +
 +**Future plans**: I plan to pursue Medical School after getting my engineering degree to become specialized in engineering medical devices and prosthetics that assist and enhance the human body. One day I hope to direct my own start up where I can be involved in all areas of the project. 
 +
 +
 +**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: I would recommend students getting started in P-Cubed to get to know your partners in your group to become comfortable with communicating and working as a team with new people. I would also recommend that you do all of the homework that is assigned to take advantage of all of your learning opportunities in this class. 
 +
 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: I would recommend that students who are struggling in this class should be actively participating in all in class activities and asking all the questions that are necessary for your personal understanding. I reccomend taking advantage of having learning assistants who are there to help you and to review course materials that teach the specific content the student is struggling with. One of the ways I would personally learn a subject I am struggling with is to seek out a helpful YouTube video that can break down a concept in a different way that may be more understandable for me.

 +
 +
 +**Future plans**: I plan on working in the automotive industry
 +
 +
 +**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Take really good notes before class because then you’ll have a better understanding of the content for the in-class problem. I would also say take your time with the homework because the concept questions can be really helpful. Lastly, don’t be afraid to share your ideas and communicate with each other.
 +
 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: If you are struggling I would recommend going to help room because that helped me when I took this class.

-**Description of research in that area**:+**Description of research in that area**:  I’m most interested in developing the next generation of physics assessments, particularly with an eye to equity and inclusion. My work employs psychometric theory through large datasets and theoretically-grounded measurement models with an aim to ensure inclusive assessment practices within physics education. Broadly, the research questions that I explore are the following: (1) What is the impact of physics assessments, that may or may not be inclusive, on student success? (2) How can we modify our assessments to improve diversity and inclusion within the physics classroom? (3) How can we ensure that we are assessing our students in an equitable manner so that they can become successful career scientists?
