PHY 2209 - Investigations in Physics I Credits: 1.00
This course is intended to offer students a formal opportunity to engage in the creative process of putting forward and resolving their own physics questions, which is one of the great things about being a physicist! Investigations have three parts. First, each student must think of and carefully word an interesting question to delve into; then work toward an answer for the Investigation question and, as time permits, any collateral questions that develop from the main line of inquiry; and, finally, compile a report based on the findings of the Investigation and make a short presentation to the class. Investigation questions can be related to any realm of physics that is of personal interest, and projects that merge multiple domains are encouraged.
