SUMMARY:Stephenson Distinguished Lecture – Dr. David J. Griffiths
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics and Astronomy proudly presents the S. Town Stephenson Distinguished Lecture featuring Dr. David J. Griffiths, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Reed College. Dr. Griffiths will present his talk, “Reflections on the Power of Instruction” .\n\nMeet for refreshments before the lecture at 3:45 – 4:10 p.m. and a reception for Dr. Griffiths will follow the lecture.\n\nAbstract: Higher education faces a number of serious challenges, including ever-increasing tuition, expanding student and faculty diversity, questions about the value of a degree, and of course the distraction of football and fraternities. I will address a different issue: the generally poor quality of instruction, specifically in physics. What are its causes, and what are some possible remedies? You will not agree with everything I have to say, but I do promise to be provocative.
