Prior to launching this blog I had written down numerous bullet points related to topics in physics teaching that I would deem important. In today's post, based on five selected points I would like to discuss how we could improve the learning experience for physics students by implementing changes in the physics curriculum, course syllabi, and teaching methods. Clearly, most the ideas can be traced back to my time as a postdoctoral research in the United States.
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.
