Scientific paper

This paper reports on the implementation and impact of a two-semester mastery-oriented astrophysics sequence for upper-level physics-astrophysics majors designed to handle flexibly a wide range of student backgrounds. A Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) format was used, which facilitated frequent student-instructor interaction and role-modeling behavior in class. Compared to students' reactions to the same content in a lecture format, students reported the mastery-oriented courses as helping them better to develop professional skills, competencies, and points of view; learn how professionals gain new knowledge in astrophysics; develop skills in oral and written expression; and learn fundamental principles and theories. These attitudes held up over three years of course development and evaluation.
