Modern and classic experiments performed with up-to-date techniques. Course complements 400-level physics courses, and satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Physics and BS-Physics majors

Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement. Intended for primary physics majors. Practice in different styles of science writing, typically including a personal statement, science writing for the general public, and a professional article in the style of those found in a mainstream physics journal. Peer reviews, and dependent on instructor, student presentations. Prerequisites: ENGLWRIT 112 or 113 and PHYSICS 284, or permission of the instructor.

Second half of the experimental course for sophomore majors. Experiments on a range of topics in modern physics. Corequisite: PHYSICS 284.
