your final papers by Wednesday of next (finals) week. This will allow me time to read them and make any appropriate further suggestions for improving style or content. </font></li> </ul> <li> <font size=+1> <b>1/12/08 &nbsp; </b> I have started filling out the schedule. See "Schedule of Talks" link below. Please send me your requests for time-slots and your ideas for topics ASAP. I will fill in slots as requests come in. </font></li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>1/7/08 &nbsp; </b> (Following is the text of email sent today): I have heard back from most of you about possible times for rescheduling. Thanks! However (and perhaps not surprisingly) there is no single time which works for everyone who has responded. <br> Thus the class <b> will meet </b> at our regular time of 2:30 on Thursday 8th in A110. We can discuss the schedule of meetings, and possible topics. I know that 3 of you have a conflict---if you can come for the first 10 minutes, that would be great, but if not I can work with you on the schedule via email. <br> My tentative suggestion (see below) is to use our regular time for some weeks, and a time in the window Fridays 11:30-2:30 the other weeks (possibly needed only for one week). In addition, I think that presentations need not begin until later in the quarter, say the 6th week, since you have to have time to work on your papers and talks. Thus I expect that during weeks 2-5 of the quarter I will meet with you individually but that we will not need class sessions. <br> Since there are 13-14 students signed up, and I imagine 15-20 minute presentations + 10 minutes of questions, we need at least 4 two hour class sessions for talks. Thus a tentative schedule of slots for talks is: <br> (Week 6) Thursday Feb. 12th: 2:30, 3, 3:30, 4 (4 slots) <br> (Week 7) No class---I am away <br> (Week 8) Thursday Feb. 26th: 2:30, 3, 3:30, 4 (4 slots) <br> (Week 9) Friday March 6th: 3-4 slots at time TBD <br> (Week 10) Thursday March 12th: 2:30, 3, 3:30, 4 (4 slots) <br> Please come tomorrow with your top 3 preferences for time slots, or email them. The tentative Friday session is reserved for the students who can't make Thurdays. </font> </li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>12/3/08 &nbsp; </b> Welcome to the web page for PHYS 486 and 495. I explain my ideas for the structure of the course below. I want this to be both an instructive and fun experience for you, so please do not hesitate to make suggestions if you would like to do something somewhat different from the plan I give below. The <b> key issues </b> for now are the choice of topic and the date of presentation. <!-- The first class session will be on Thursday, January, 8th. During that session we will discuss the class structure and timeline. We will also decide on when and where to meet---I know that several of you have a conflict with our allotted class time, and so do I (every other week). If you cannot make the first session please email me (at address below) so that we can discuss your topic and the date of presentation, as well as your availability for alternate class times. </font> </li> </ul> --><!-- <li> <font size=+1> <b>6/14 &nbsp; </b> Links to talks and papers removed. Thanks for an interesting quarter, and congratulations to those who have graduated! </font> </li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>5/24 &nbsp; </b> This note concerns the final version of the papers. For those who have given talks but not yet turned in the final version, I would like you to get it to by our last class session on Thursday, June 2nd. For those giving talks this week or next, I propose a deadline of Tuesday June 7th. If these deadlines present a problem for anyone, please let me know by email or in class. </font> </li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>5/3 &nbsp; </b> I have posted the talks given so far. See the schedule below. These will remain posted for the duration of the course. </font> </li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>4/5 &nbsp; </b> I have created a schedule for talks respecting your preferences as much as possible. No-one was assigned a time they didn't list. See below under "schedule of talks". The order within each day is mostly arbitrary and can be adjusted later. Good luck with your research. Please don't forget that the you must send me a draft of the paper at least a week before your talk. </font> </li> <ul> </ul> <li> <font size=+1> <b>3/29 &nbsp; </b> We had our first class session today, in which I ran through the information on this page. If you could not attend, the essential points are, as repeated below, that you must choose a topic, which you should run by me in person or in email, and send me by email a list of (at least 2, preferably 3 or more) dates on which you can give your presentation. The choice of topic and dates must be completed by next Tuesday (4/5) at the latest. If you are having trouble deciding on a topic, please contact or visit me to discuss ideas. </font> </li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>3/29 &nbsp; </b> The second class session on Tuesday April 5th is optional. If you've chosen a topic that I've signed off on, and sent in dates, you need not come. I will be in the classroom (starting 15 minutes "late" at 3:45) so that anyone who wants to discuss possible topics or anything else, and who hasn't been able to find me during the week, can do so. </font> </li> <li> <font size=+1> <b>3/29 &nbsp; </b> We had a show of hands indicating that a reasonable fraction of students would be able to stay until 5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with more able to stay on Tuesdays). We do have the room until 5:20pm both days. If we need extra time I will try and make it be on Tuesdays. </font> </li> --><a name=Contact></a><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Office hours and contact information<o:p></o:p></span></h2> <ul type=disc> <ul type=circle> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:list 1.0in'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Prof. Anton Andreev &nbsp; <a href="mailto:aandreev@uw.edu">aandreev@uw.edu </a>&nbsp; PAB B425 543-3901</span></li> <ul type=square> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l3 level3 lfo1;tab-stops:list 1.5in'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Consultations and questions on topics can be done by email or in my office by arrangement. </span></li> </ul> </ul> </ul> <h2 style='margin-left:.5in'><a name=Structure></a><span style='mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"'>Course Structure<o:p></o:p></span></h2> <ul type=disc> <ul type=circle> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:list 1.0in'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>I intend to run these two courses jointly, with the same requirements (described below) for both. </span></li> <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:list 1.0in'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The aim of these courses is to provide you with an opportunity to learn in more depth about a topic in physics or a physics-related field that interests you, and at the same time gain experience in doing literature research, preparing a scientific presentation, and writing a scientific article.
