Long Time No Post
Ten days without a post! Yes, things have been a bit busy, but mostly I just haven't had anything to talk about. No more. I am in the process of writing an essay of sorts about the way physics is taught in the US. Mostly to take some frustration out, but I think that there are some things we can do better. Stay tuned for that.
On a different note, I taught my last lab on tuesday. This term went well as far as that goes. The kids did well. Most of them seem to have learned a thing or two about a thing or two. They also gave me an ego massage in my "course evaluation". I love to teach. Hearing "oh that makes sense!" after guiding someone to an "answer" through a series of questions is one of the most gratifying feelings ever.
Now that teaching is done, I look forward to solely focusing on learning things for the next six weeks. Well... after this weekend's grading. Woot!
