This week begins the advising season for the F09 semester, which will continue through the week following spring break. If you are a physics major, thinking about a physics major, or plan on taking more physics in the near future, I would like to meet with you.
Individual meetings only take 15-30 minutes, please let me know if you are interested, and when you would have some time either this week or the week following spring break. You can contact me at pleclair.removethis@andthistoo.ua.edu.
One new thing I should mention is our new seminar course, PH111. It is a 1-credit seminar course with no prerequisites, meeting once per week, and it is devoted entirely to discussing neat topics in physics at a completely introductory level. In the fall, it will meet on Mondays from 4-5:30. Anyone interested in physics is encouraged to take the course, it should be a lot of fun. A tentative syllabus can be found here.
Finally, I would like to point out that all physics majors are eligible for E. Scott Barr scholarships, and we could use some more applicants ... it is not too late to be considered for a fall scholarship! Details here.
