These are illustrated by some case studies of good practice on this website. Forward planning and careful management are essential to the development of good practice in the teaching and learning of physics. In particular the physics department should: share a vision about the purpose of teaching physics and its contribution to the aims of the school/college as a whole, ensuring that this vision is shared throughout the school/college and made apparent through actions (for example, open evenings, displays, parental involvement see case study: The Grange School) select a specification which suits the vision and ethos of the department and has the potential to provide challenges and motivation for students (see case study: Tadcaster Grammar School) take ownership and turn the specification into a curriculum, using the specification aims, informed by the departmental aims, as the starting point for designing a long-term (two-year) course plan, medium-term plans/schemes of work for units or topics and short-term lesson plans

Extractions: Physics is the natural science that deals with the properties and interactions of matter and radiation. As such, physics provides the fundamental basis for all other sciences, and for such applied sciences as engineering and the health sciences. California State University, Fullerton, offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics which affords excellent preparation either for graduate study in physics and related areas, or for entry-level positions in industry or government. An optional business emphasis in our BS program is the first in the nation to provide training in entrepreneurship to undergraduate physics majors. We also offer the Master of Science degree in Physics . This degree, which has both an examination and a thesis option emphasizes applications, but also provides opportunities for work in basic physics and physics education. The Physics Department at CSUF offers a high degree of flexibilility in course selection and scheduling. Most required undergraduate courses are offered both during day and in the early evening, and we provide a relatively large number of upper-division elective units. This makes it possible for majors in other sciences, mathematics, engineering, or computer science to complete a second major in physics. Our graduate courses are offered primarily in the late afternoon and evening. The strength of our programs are their small class sizes and the individual attention that our faculty provides to our students. The Physics Department operates a

What the students say... Physics is central to science and technology. It tackles problems that range in scale from fundamental particles to the universe itself. Physics uses experimental and mathematical methods to understand the simplicity and unity that lies behind the seemingly complex world we live in. It is the basis for most technological developments. For this reason, a physics degree is probably the most flexible preparation for a wide range of careers, particularly those involving research and development in industry, government laboratories or universities. More than 50 per cent of our graduates go on to work for a PhD, or other higher degree, in either physics or another discipline. Physics graduates also acquire high level mathematical, problem solving, communication, managerial and entrepreneurial skills. A wide range of employers value these transferable skills and the flexibility of physics graduates highly. For example, many graduates go on to make successful careers in finance, business and management.

Extractions: Professional Activities Teaching Courses Mathematica Labview ... Extraterrestrial Intelligence Teaching Early in my physics career, I decided to use physics primarily as a way to make a living. Since I had many interests outside the field of physics, from river running and mountaineering to world travel, the career that appealed to me most was university teaching, as it would give me a lot of free time, which to me was worth a lot more than money. So, after I got my Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, I started to look around for a teaching job in the San Francisco bay area. In 1966, I got an offer from Sonoma State University, and here-several decades later- (albeit partially retired)-I still am. When I came to Sonoma State, the campus was very young, and people were pretty much making things up as they went along. So, as the first chairman, I made up the physics and astronomy department, and had a great deal of fun doing it. For a while, there was nothing else like it in the world. Later, the dead hand of bureaucracy and conservative rigor mortis struck the university, and things had to be done differently, and much less creatively. But that's another story. Somewhat to my surprise, I found that I really liked teaching. What I didn't like was the bureaucracy associated with grades-I still haven't decided whether grades are a necessary evil. It is undoubtedly still true that the only real way to learn a subject is to get the hardest book you can find on it and then-by yourself-wrestle the stuff to a standstill. In this view-my view- a teacher can only be a tour guide. Some people still seem to hope that they need only settle back in a class and let the teacher pour the subject into their brains- and that learning the subject will thereby take place effortlessly and with no pain. Alas, not true. In learning as in weight lifting and other areas: no pain, no gain.

The Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering is a joint department of University College London (UCL) and the UCL Hospitals Trust . The academic and research work of the Department is concentrated primarily within a short distance from the main UCL campus. It also has laboratories on three other nearby sites: University College Hospital, Middlesex Hospital, and Whittington Hospital. The spectrum of Medical Physics activities undertaken in this Department is probably the broadest of any in the United Kingdom. Roughly one half of the 130 members of staff are employed by the UCL Hospitals to provide medical physics service. The rest are principally involved in the pursuit of academic research, including industrial contract research, and teaching activities associated with the graduate and post-graduate degrees offered by the Department. Members of the Department have access to an exceptionally wide range of workshop, laboratory and clinical facilities. There are substantial departmental computing facilities, including a range of modern computers and workstations. Access to the major academic computer centres is available through the University data network. A large range of scientific test equipment is available for physiological measurement, MRI, optics, acoustics, audiology, x-ray and radiation dosimetry. These facilities allow fundamental ideas and inventions to be taken from initial development to full clinical trials and subsequent commercial manufacture where appropriate.

Extractions: I. MAJORING IN PHYSICS - WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? The Physics Department: The Physics Department at Ohio State has become known as one of the major departments in the nation. Over the past several years the Department has won many awards and recognitions, including Center of Excellence status, Academic Challenge awards for its research, and Program Excellence awards for its teaching mission. Among its faculty is a Nobel Prize winner, an Ohio Eminent Scholar, three University Professors, and three Distinguished Teaching Award winners. The size of the Department reflects its stature as a major department at a large, public university. There are approximately 50 faculty, 175 graduate students, and 237 undergraduate majors, as well as numerous visiting research scientists, technical staff, and administrative personnel. The Department's activities are housed primarily in Smith Laboratory, although some of its faculty conduct research at sites around the world. The Physics Department's functions include both teaching and research, and all of its faculty are engaged in both activities. Teaching ranges from introductory physics courses at several levels of sophistication and enrolling around 8500 students a year, all the way up to specialized seminars for graduate students, with classes of fewer than ten students. On the research side, faculty members at Ohio State pursue research in five major areas of physics: astrophysics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; condensed matter physics and materials research; high energy physics; and nuclear physics. Nearly seven million dollars in outside research funding are received each year to support this effort.
