PH111 Intro physics seminar

This semester, for the first time, we'll be offering an introductory physics seminar. It is a 1-credit course with no prerequisites, and meets just once a week Monday 4-5:30pm in 338 Gallalee. Here's the catalog blurb:

Lecture series on current topics in physics. Open to all undergraduates, aimed at students just starting their university education who want a broad introduction to exciting developments in modern physics at an introductory level. Faculty will present introductions to recent developments in physics, including student-suggested topics. The course will stress a conceptual understanding of everything from fundamental phenomena to recent technologies in terms of their basic underlying physical principles. Students present short research seminars on a topic of their choice once per semester.

You might also want to look at the list of possible topics, our tentative schedule, and the course syllabus. Also, here are the course intro slides from today.

There is room for plenty more if you'd like to join ... and even if you don't, I'll be continue information about PH111 lectures and so on here so you can follow along virtually at least.
