A PHYS 272 Blog started (New!)

Mon 07Jan2013 11:18AM

 

As a new experiment to enhance outside-classroom learning and peer-discussion, we have started a course blog ---  phys272.blogspot.com 

 

 

This blog is meant to provide an online forum for and among PHYS 272 class members to

  • discuss topics related to electromagnetism of interests to this class 
  • share interesting links/articles about electromagnetism with the class 
  • bring up/discuss topics related to electromagnetism that you want to hear more or need more help with 
  • encourage peer-help and peer-discussion among the class members and facilitate an online learning community outside the classroom

Note this blog is NOT a venue to send specific or personal questions/queries/requests/complaints to instructors/TAs (who may not check this blog regularly) ---- instead please contact them directly to get faster responses.

 

The comments are currently un-moderated (and you can comment anonymously).   Please use standard online etiquette when posting comments on this blog, and do not post contents/comments unrelated to electromagnetism and PHYS 272.
