A continuation of POR110. Development of conversational communication, listening comprehension, reading skills and cultural knowledge through music. Prerequisite: POR 110 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 20.

An advanced laboratory course in which students make use of advanced signal recovery methods to design and perform laboratory experiments covering a wide range of topics in modern physics. Available experimental modules include pulsed and CW NMR, optical pumping of atoms, single photon quantum interference, magneto-optical polarization, the Franck-Hertz experiment and the Hall effect. Experimental methods include signal averaging, filtering, modulation techniques and phase-sensitive detection.

Introduction to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. Prerequisites: PHY 215 or permission of the instructor.

Electrostatic and magnetostatic fields in vacuum and in matter, electrodynamics and electromagnetic waves. Prerequisite: PHY 215 or permission of the instructor.

A course emphasizing the pedagogy in physics based on Physics Education Research (PER). Readings and discussion emphasize the research literature and strategies for implementing successful and effective methods of teaching physics at the introductory level in the classroom. Instructor permission required. May be repeated once for credit. Prerequisites: PHY 117 or PHY 118 or PHY 119.

This course will give you a practical introduction to experimental atomic physics by having you do real, publishable research. While this course-based-research program is focused on high precision spectroscopy, you will gain skills that can be generally applied to investigational science in experimental design, experimental iteration/systematic error analysis, data analysis, and writing scientific papers for publication.
