Thank you very
much to many for asking me to teach the introductory physics
course that is required for you.
In Fall,
2011, I'll teach Physics
4309-5304, Solid State Physics, a specialty course for Physics graduate students &
undergraduates. I'll also teach Physics
5101, Seminar, which is required for all Physics graduate students.
In practice, "Teaching" this mainly consists of organizing the Department of
Physics Colloquiumseries, which brings speakers (both external & from TTU)
to give research seminars to the faculty & students.This is actually a LOT of work!
I'm also involved in the
following activities, which
count towards my Faculty Work Load
("Teaching Load").
3. Doing research in my area of interest. My
Research
Pagehas more details. This includes publishing results, submitting funding proposals,
& making presentations at national conferences.
If you
are required to take Physics II,
I strongly
suggest that you NOT
wait to take it, whether or not you are in my section. It's best
if you take Physics
IIASAP, while the
Physics I
material is fresh in your mind. Others who normally teach Physics II
have a different teaching style than mine. However, all are good
instructors!
