Please write 1 paragraph (on the order of 1/2 a page) listing out your ideas for a final project. It is okay to have more than one, but you should spend some time thinking about this and writing out some of the details --- what your thinking, why you are doing this (what you hope to accomplish with the final project), and a coarse examination of how you will go about doing so.
Purpose: to have you explore in depth a topic of your choosing, relating to teaching and learning in physics. The projects should be challenging, fun, and allow you to explore an area of yourinterest.
Topics: I encourage you to be creative. There is no set form to these final projects There are noset topics. Examples of reasonable final projects are: a traditional research paper, the design andwrite-up of some activities for your students, or a research study where you collect data on some area of physics education that interests you.Some basic guidelines are below. However, as necessary, these too are flexible. Just be certain tocheck with me about your project.
