Modules

Each Module typically has three components:

1. A Student Guide. This is what we provide the students.
2. An Instructor Guide. This is given to our Learning Assistants (formerly called Teaching Assistants), and to the Instructors in the course.
3. Equipment List & Setup. This is given to our technologists.

This page provides access to the Student Guide and the Equipment List & Setup documents. They are in pdf format.

If you are an instructor, contact us to get copies of the Instructor Guides.

We also have found it useful to use multiple-choice quizzes as part of a typical session. We will share those with instructors also.

Many Modules also have ancillary materials. These can include:

• Flash animations.
• Java applets
• VPython code
• Excel code
  

Access to these are also provided via this page.

The links below are roughly in the order in which we use them in our Practicals. For a given year, not all Modules will be used. Similarly, there are more Activities in each Module than can be used in a given year.
