Item description
-
Ran several Lower - Division Classical Mechanics discussion sections based on the topics covered in Physics 7C. I was responsible for creating quizzes and discussion materials as well as grading quizzes and exams.
-
Ran comprehensive laboratory experiments that emphasizes the fundamental principles of circuits and magnetism. These experiments were structured to provide students with hands-on experience, allowing them to explore various components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and magnets. Each session was carefully crafted to reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical application, fostering a deeper understanding of how these elements interact within electric and magnetic fields.
As part of the evaluation process, I conducted thorough assessments of lab reports submitted by students, ensuring that they effectively communicated their findings, methodologies, and any anomalies observed during experiments. This evaluation was crucial in helping students develop critical thinking and analytical skills essential for scientific inquiry.
Additionally, I administered final examinations that encompassed both theoretical concepts and practical applications of circuits and magnetism. These assessments were designed to measure students’ understanding of the material presented throughout the course, evaluating their ability to synthesize information and apply it to solve complex problems. The intention was not just to test rote memorization, but to encourage students to think critically and connect their learning to real-world scenarios in the field of physics.
