Course Description

Overview

Explore the integration of computational methods in a junior-level Modern Physics course through this insightful conference talk. Discover how engaging students with dynamic computational investigations can enhance their understanding of complex quantum concepts, such as the energy eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator. Learn about the implementation of a sequence of computational assignments based on PICUP Exercise Sets, including a newly developed set on x-ray crystallography. Gain insights into effective assessment strategies, including a revise-and-resubmit grading structure, oral exams, and final presentations. Examine the results of post-course assessment interviews and consider future improvements for incorporating computation in physics education.
