Welcome to campus, @SMU students! To get a sense of the seriousness, spirit and excitement that we try to bring to the classroom, check out my own #PHYS1303 welcome message: This semester in a classroom very close... it's #Physics! https://t.co/2jGe09WqWt https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1029757556577787904/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51651

Get ready, @SMU students, for the #Fall2018 edition of #PHYS1303, "Introductory Mechanics"! Teaser trailer available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyzdbkNyfww&feature=youtu.be Learn more at the course website: https://t.co/z5IVRd5VJq https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1025110040028631041/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51511

Introductory physics students from #PHYS1303 have some of the basic tools needed to hunt for Dark Matter's constituents, as they learned during my last lecture of the spring: "Deep Learning the Dark Cosmos": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_F675I7pRc&feature=youtu.be https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/993855289039425537/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50454

Go "behind-the-scenes" (and into the classroom with some of my students) in this short (11 minute) "mockumentary" about the making of my Spring 2018 #PHYS1303 class. Enjoy! http://www.physics.smu.edu/sekula/phys1303/index.html#makingof https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/992448068002836480/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50349

How much do I love physics? I #StarWars love it! Enjoy this Star Wars opening credit crawl I made for my #PHYS1303 class. #MayThe4thBeWithYou ! http://www.physics.smu.edu/sekula/phys1303/index.html#starwars https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/992425160417275907/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50345

This semester in a classroom very close... it's Physics! I had a lot of fun teaching #PHYS1303 this semester. Here's just how fun physics is for me: https://t.co/2jGe09EPxT #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

The last lecture of #PHYS1303 this semester: "Deep Learning the Dark Cosmos"! A shallow dive into dark matter, big data, and deep learning. I will touch on introductory physics concepts, where applicable. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/992033541163835392/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50313

Last day for #PHYS1303 students to up-vote student-suggested topics for the last lecture of the semester on May 3. Poll closes at 9. What will they choose? (currently, 32/93 enrolled students have rank-voted). https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/988772175158108160/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50164

Students in #PHYS1303 are up-voting topics for the content of the last lecture of the semester ("Special Topics"). With 7 participants, so far "The Atom" is in the lead, with "The Standard Model and the Higgs Particle" a close second. We need more votes to get a clearer picture! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/987317891640020993/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50066

It's time for Exam 3 in #PHYS1303. This is the last exam before the final in May. We will close the semester with rotational motion, energy, and momentum. Students will start up-voting today for special topics in the last lecture. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/986945863820939264/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50033

But what IS gravity? #PHYS1303 students can watch the last 17 minutes of their next lecture video to get a peek behind the curtain of introductory physics to see a deeper reality that likes beyond introductory physics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQYMNS5Vjug&feature=youtu.be https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/985295217959096327/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49899

Me: "OK, so how long was I accelerating for during the rocket demo?" Student: "Ooh! About half a Snapchat video!" Me: :-/ #PHYS1303

And life just isn't complete unless you are rocketing across the floor under the power of a fire extinguisher and conservation of momentum. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/982381763627450368/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49632

Let's swing a bowling ball at our face. But first, let's discuss with students the importance of having the cameras rolling. Becausey possible death will happen exactly once. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/982381554738573312/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49629

You might have also missed this gem from Tuesday. What a mean swing. As one of my mentors used to say, "dents, but no holes." #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/982381261397417985/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49626

If you are not in #PHYS1303, here is some of what you missed this week. Rocket ball! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/982380632138543106/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49623

1 bed of nails. 1 professor. 1 smaller bed of nails. 1 30-lb concrete block. 1 face shield. 1 sledgehammer. And 1 determined teaching assistant with a mean swing. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/981301618363846656/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49552

A cinder block weighs about 32 pounds. A breaking force of about 1000N is required to shatter the material. Concrete. Airbag. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/981138296943382534/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49541

When it comes to wielding "Mjolnir" for today's physics class, only one thing matters: Is my teaching assistant worthy? #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/981134488997687296/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49538
