PHYS328 - Science Seminar

• Each group will write a 1-2 page brief biography of each physicists. The brief biographies will be presented in class over two periods; 12 on the first day and 13 on the second.
• Each person in each group must make a copy of their own papers for distribution to all members of their group and to the instructor. The reason is that I want everyone to have this information in hand to help them decide on what physicist to study. If the group decides to divide up the work and one person does not submit their work the entire group will be held responsible.
• Engineering majors cannot work together in the same group.
• The write-ups must use proper referencing of sources.
• All write-ups must come attached with copies of all reference material.
• As with all work handed in, use your own words.
• Brief biographies should include:
  • date of birth and death
  • Place of Birth
  • Education
  • Summary of physics accomplishments.
  • Overview of the physicist's life. Discuss more than the physicist's physics accomplishments.
  • Proper references.

Do your best to write a summary of the physicist's life. Keep in mind we want to get a good "feel" for the person. The class will need this information to help in deciding which student picks which physicist.

I will ask for an oral summary these biographies. I will expect input from several people since all groups are covering all physicists.
