About the Class
Welcome! I'm more than excited to be teaching PHYSICS, and I look forward to our year together. I can promise you two things:
​Because physics can be fun. It should be fun. (But that doesn't mean it should be easy!)
Based on scientific research and my own observations, I feel that lecture is among the least effective means of teaching. And, for you, it's among the least effective means of learning. For this reason, I will attempt to structure the class so that you acquire information through your own active exploration, guided by me. Physics is not something to be memorized, like anatomy. Physics is something that you do. Be open to the process. You may be amazed at just how much you learn!
