Classroom Materials

These materials have been designed to provide an improved learning environment for students. By providing a setting focused on active engagement and conceptual understanding in conjunction with the traditional lecture setting, we hope to help students learn the physics of quantum mechanics more effectively. For a description of the manner in which these materials can be used in the classroom, click on the link for "Instructional Philosophy" at the bottom of the page.
