Students taking the Physics 130 or 135 sequences have the opportunity to participate in the Physics Advanced Conceptual Workshop. This workshop has been developed in conjunction with the physics sequences, and is part of the Gateway Science Workshop (GSW) program of the Searle Center for Teaching Excellence. This optional, innovative program consists of advanced workshops wherein small diverse groups of students meet weekly to tackle challenging, conceptually-based problems related to the course material. The workshop groups are led by undergraduate peer facilitators who have successfully completed the sequence. Together, students in each workshop group work cooperatively on important and fascinating problems, and engage in discussions with each other in a productive yet informal learning environment.
