Description

I will describe and illustrate a physics course for students whose only knowledge of physics is that they do not like it! The physics content is driven entirely by what appears in the daily newspapers and generally covers most physics topics in a semester. This course was structured as a “Learning Community” at Iowa State University combining English and Physics into a single course. Most of the writing assignments were about physics.

Host: Prof. Sehwook Lee
