Last week, I attended the annual conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM) which took place in Minneapolis (United States). While the central topics of this conference were all related to cutting-edge research in the field of magnetism, I still had the chance to think and talk about teaching physics and materials science. Therefore, in today’s blogpost, I would like to touch on a few of my thoughts and conversations.
This blog is a platform for discussions on physics teaching in higher education. What are effective teaching strategies and creative ways to arouse students' enthusiasm for physics? A special focus lies on condensed matter physics and materials science. Most of the content is based on my personal experience, but I also try to offer a broader perspective of physics teaching.
