JORDAN GERTON

In recent years, I have enjoyed teaching a range of courses from introductory physics (calculus-based and algebra-based) to intermediate-level quantum mechanics:  this requires some code-switching from one semester to another, but it's fun!  I enjoy teaching large-enrollment classes - where I have the opportunity to interact with many students - and also interacting with a smaller group of Physics & Astronomy majors.  I have also recently co-instructed a course called "Being Human in STEM" which explored the intersection of social issues and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) focusing on STEM students and practitioners as individual humans with valuable differences that enrich the scientific enterprise.  In the past, I have taught general education courses such as "The Way Things Work" and even made a fun instructional video "The Physics of SCUBA" in 2007 while I was in Hawaii.
