TEACHING SEMINAR

Syllabus for Winter 2009

Return to  Physics Department Homepage

In the Teaching Seminar this winter we will be studying curricular materials and strategies that are relevant for teaching lower-division, calculus-based intro physics. In particular, we will be investigating curricular materials for the lab portion of the class.

Anyone interested in physics teaching is welcome to attend this seminar, regularly or irregularly, with or without signing up for credit. Students who would like to register for credit
should sign up for PH 607, Sec 002, CRN 32599 (for 1 credit) and PH 607, Sec 003, CRN
32755 (for a second credit). Students who sign up for two credits will be expected to
give a presentation.

The seminar will meet from 3-4 pm on Thursdays.
