Suggestions on how to be an effective Masterclass moderator:
You might know most of this already...but we still need to remind ourselves. Please send in items to add to this list.

  • Speak clearly and succinctly
  • Show your sense of humor
  • Avoid too many explanations: draw ideas from students and then help them
  • When you do explain, keep it short and direct
  • Encourage students to speak up, give their views, and back them up
  • Mind the schedule
  • Be friendly
  • It is alright to disagree...with mentors, students, or each other
  • Let students get a feel for how you see data and analysis
  • Be familiar with the Masterclass measurement
  • Show your enthusiasm
  • Work as a team

Ask these questions of the students:

  • Where are the peaks in the Mass Histogram? What do they represent?
  • Where is Z boson in the plot? What are the other peaks, then?
  • Do you have possible Higgs events in your plot? Where? Can we claim discovery?
  • (CMS only) What do you expect the ratio of electron events to muon events to be? Is your result consistent with this?
  • (CMS only) What is the ratio of W+ to W- bosons? What does this ratio tell us about protons?

 

Good advice with a CERN slant:
