Spring 2019 Introductory Mechanics (PHYS 1303)

by |Published
A “Marvel Studios”-style pre-roll I made for class. This is the excitement I feel when I think about teaching or researching in physics, and when I think about some of this people and history of our department.

Tomorrow, my spring teaching begins. Again, I am teaching “Introductory Mechanics” (PHYS 1303), our 1st-semester introductory physics course. Inspired by the Marvel Studios movies, the theme this semester is “ASSEMBLE!”

Enjoy my little fan art below. Many thanks to my undergraduate teaching assistants, and course veterans: Chase, Lauren, and Andrew!
