Teaching

I teach and have taught a variety of courses in the Physics department.  I enjoy teaching all levels: from introductory courses for non-majors, introductory courses for majors, all the way to senior-level selected topics courses for majors.  My passion (and the reason I became a Physics major myself) is for experimental Physics, and I have taught several of the advanced laboratory courses.  Throughout my teaching, I emphasize analytical and critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills in a collaborative environment.

Below is the list of courses I teach or have taught at Ithaca College.  Bold-face type indicates courses I am currently teaching.

  • PHYS 10200: Introduction to Physics II
  • PHYS 11400: Introduction to Experimental Physics
  • PHYS 11700: Principles of Physics I: Mechanics
  • PHYS 21700: Principles of Physics III: Waves, Optics, and Thermodynamics
  • PHYS 31100: Analytical Mechanics
  • PHYS 36000: Intermediate Physics Laboratory
  • PHYS 45100: Advanced Physics Laboratory
  • PHYS 47003: Selected Topics in Physics: Solid State Physics
