Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLRs
1. What ESLR have you excelled in most in your senior project?
Oy vey, I don't think any of these are really applicable. If I had to choose one I would choose Effective Communicator.
2. Please explain why you think you have excelled in this ESLR.
One of my goals is to help others understand physics. Sure, it's great that I understand it, it comes naturally to me, blah blah blah. Whatever. My knowledge of physics isn't something I want to just keep selfishly to myself. Everyone can understand physics and appreciate it! No one should be made to feel intimidated. I have been helping people out when they need it in Pittman's class (I hope this has been beneficial for people. If not please tell me how I can improve.) I'm really trying to make my presentations accessible and interesting for people, and many people I have asked say that they have learned something after my presentations. I have a degree of artistic talent, so I try to use visual representations that are cute/funny/memorable to teach people. Also I make a lot of jokes (which may or may not be funny...or may be funny and not funny simultaneously until they are observed...I'll show myself out.)
3. Provide evidence from your senior project to support your claim (evidence is a photo of something you are doing, photo of something you made, etc).
I'll post a picture in the morning, but today I drew the little cartoony versions I do of all the Manhattan Project scientists. I drew these for Ogden's first art project but I have no idea where that has gone to (Purther, where are they?) So here are these instead. I'm thinking about making a historical physics comic, since there are many important aspects in this era that are glossed over in school. Here they are thinking about something they like. Oppenheimer likes Hinduism, Teller likes hydrogen, Szilard likes baths, and Fermi likes aliens.
