Welcome Letter
I currently send out a short welcome letter to my new students to welcome the course and invite them to ask me questions. I could vastly improve my social presence on the welcome letter I send out. I could add some more personal information about my interests and academic background so that I seem more […]
Database of Current Events
A neat idea for my course would be to create a database of links to news articles that relate to the course topics. This would enrich and update the course material. Physics is always progressing and new topics that aren’t covered in the text book are always arising. I could also encourage the students to […]
Online Physics Simulations
Online physics simulations allow students to investigate physics concepts. Typically these simulations allow the student to manipulate variables in various equations and observe the outcome. A great source of online physics simulations: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/physics These simulations allow the subject matter to become real for the students. They can manipulate variables and watch the simulated outcomes. These […]

Describe the ways in which your introductory post should have enhanced social presence in a course that you teach: My introductory post should have helped to create an environment of trusting be exposing myself as a “real” person with hobbies and interests. This would help to establish a community within the course that would encourage […]

Hello! My name is Julia Stanley. I am teaching Physics 1011. I am from Vancouver, British Columbia. I did my undergraduate degree in physics at Sweet Briar College in Virginia, my masters in medical physics at Duke University in North Carolina and my PhD in physics at the University of Calgary. I also love horses […]
Reflections Blog Post 1.5
Take a look back through your previous posts and apply the ‘Showcase’ category to your best work. I picked my Post 3 for the ‘Showcase’ category because I thought it was important to directly relate what I learned in this course to the course that I am teaching. What are 2-3 of the most […]

Are there any gaps between your practice of offering feedback to students and what Hattie recommends? One thing that stood out to me in Hattie’s article was that “feedback directed to the ‘self’” does not enhance learning. I have always thought that such feedback would help motivate the student but according to the article, it […]

What are the intended learning outcomes of the course? Do the learning outcomes reflect high-level cognitive skills or low-level skills (pay attention to the verbs)? The objectives for Physics 2011 are: Demonstrate an understanding of the physics concepts that shape our modern world. Demonstrate the use of physics concepts in decision making. Demonstrate the ability […]
