pedagogy
I have spent the last few years learning how students learn physics and learning how to teach them. I have relied heavily on Randall Knight, the work from several physics education groups, and my own experiences in class.
sps
I work closely with the
Society of Physics Students (SPS)
at the College. We have done a number of outreach demonstration shows to area children. We also participated in the first annual
SPS-Chem Club demo show
for the campus.

Here are a few items from the lighter side of teaching and physics.
