PHYS 212 James Scholars

 

NOTE: This information only applies to you if you are taking Physics 212 for Honors credit. If instead you are taking Physics 199HO (Honors Seminar: Topics in Electricity and Magnetism), then you do not need to do these assignments (though you might want to anyway -- they are very interesting!)


For those of you intending to use Physics 212 to satisfy your James Scholar requirement for an "honors" course, there are three things you must do:

1. You must obtain an Honors Credit Learning Agreement from your college office.  It must then be signed either by your PHYS 212 lecturer.  The LAS James scholar program is described here.  The Engineering James Scholar program is described here (main JS page) and here (specific info about the HCLA).    Students in other colleges should consult their college office.

2. Complete the registration below by 5:00 pm Friday, February 5. Note that this is an on-line procedure.

3. Turn in the five James Scholar assignments -- including the first one (JS1 below), which is also due by 5:00 pm Friday, February 5, and is to be turned in on paper. The assignments will involve simple web-research, reading of articles, writing descriptions, and simple calculations. We hope you will find them thought-provoking, and that they give you a better appreciation for the wider application of electro-magnetism to some of the latest cutting edge research and technology.

4. Remember to include your name, netID, and Discussion section on the top of the page! Please turn in your assignment into the Grading Box #9 labeled "Physics 212 James Scholars", located on the 2nd floor, in the interpass between Loomis and MRL (Materials Research Lab).
