Resource Faculty for Junior-Senior Physics Courses



AAPT is developing a new Web-based resource that will have
information for astronomy, physics and physical science educators at all
levels, K-16. It has been suggested that we need lists of faculty who
might be willing to share their expertise in certain subject areas with
other faculty who are either new to the teaching profession, or who
have not taught a certain subject in recent times.

As part of this Web-based resource that we are calling the Physical
Sciences Resource Center (PSRC), I would like to include lists of faculty
who would be willing to share their expertise in subjects such as
classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, optics,
thermodynamics and statistics, and maybe others.

First, does this sound like a good idea? Second, if it does, please send
me your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and the
subject(s) for which you would be willing to serve as a resource
person. It would also be useful to include the text(s) that you would
recommend for the subject(s).

The PSRC is currently in the development stage and we expect it to be
ready for "unveiling" at the Summer AAPT meeting in Denver.
