recent progress in scientific computing.Many examples from recent research in physics and related areas are given with theprogram listing. Basic computational tools and routines, including the ones fordifferential equations, spectral analysis, and matrix operations, are dealt with throughrelevant examples, and more advanced topics are treated. The broad categories ofcomputational physics studied are simulation, visualization and modeling, numericalmethods, algorithms and data analysis. Simulation and modeling are taught by stressingnumerical techniques and programming language(s) techniques employed. Besideslearning how to solve numerical problems with a computer, the student also will gainexperience writing manuscripts in a scientific journal

, it began with the teacher performing some engaging demonstrationsabout heat transfer. In these demonstrations, the teacher modeled the experimental methods asthe “more knowledgeable other,” and students were shown how to undertake these methods ontheir own in teams.21 The teacher then elicited discussions and reflections on the discrepantevents students witness as s/he and the students “talked science.” The teacher described howexperiments are conducted with controls and a variable, and got students to identify theindependent and dependent variables and the controls. The teacher introduced the concept of heatby first finding out what students thought about it. Then presented the concepts of conduction,convection, and radiation, and performed

preventstudents from finding out answers from those who took the exam earlier. But, if sectionsare taught back to back, the danger is minimized. If out-of-class common exams arescheduled, it is eliminated. Then a single exam can be used, which will save severalhours in creating the exam, and save grading time as well, due to lower startup overhead.Reason #4: Less web site/LMS overhead. Teaching one class means only one course website, and only one course to set up in a learning management system. The sameassignments, grade weights and policies apply to all sections.Reason #5: Fewer meetings of course staff. In most courses, it’s necessary to meet withTA(s) once a week, and this meeting may last an hour. In multi-section courses, a singlemeeting

thestudents build the circuit from the example problem(s) and measure to verify the theory iscorrect. In-class experiments included the following:1. Measure component values – students measure the resistances of all their resistors to verify that they have all the resistors they are supposed to in their packs, and also measure the voltage of their batteries to make sure they are still good. Students seemed surprised to learn that a brand-new 9V battery typically had a voltage of 9.5-9.6 V rather than 9.0 V.2. Ohm’s law – Students connect a 1k resistor in series with the 9V battery and measure voltage across the resistor. Then they measure the current through the resistor, and knowing the value of the resistor, use Ohm’s law to verify that
