| Presentation Title: | Blending Computational Exercises into a One-Semester Quantum Mechanics Course |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The curricular and time constraints that exist at a small, four-year liberal-arts college pose a series of challenges in introducing additional material into the physics program. This presentation reports on our first attempt to blend a series of computational exercises, based on existing PICUP exercise sets and complementary exercises from our class text, into a one-semester, upper-level quantum mechanics course at St. Norbert College, including a brief overview of the experience, successes and shortcomings, and two extensions to existing PICUP exercises presented by student authors. |
