| Welcome, guinea pigs! This is a brand new course, and we will be creating it together. Fasten your seat belts! |
Purpose: Our plan is that you will emerge from this course able to explain physics to others. This means we will work on your presentation skills, which is another way of saying we will develop your abilities in public speaking. We will also improve your knowledge of physics, and make sure you know how to improve that knowledge yourselves.
Requirements: The most important requirement of this course is the seminar you will present later in the semester. Most of your course grade will depend on this seminar. However, there will be other assignments, which must be completed satisfactorily and which will contribute to your grade. You will also be required to participate in a Cool Science program, or some other suitable presentation to children.
Schedule of class meetings, etc.
