Tools For Physicistsl Creating A Major-Based Foundational Course, Carol Hood

Q2S Enhancing Pedagogy

Pulling extensively from the recommendations from Phys21: Preparing Physics Students for 21st Century Careers¹, a joint AAPT-APS committee report, we created a new semester course for all incoming physics majors, regardless of their math preparation. The Tools for Physicists course will attempt to set a foundation for what physicists do, why you would want to be one, and what you need to be successful.
