    Had an awesome seni-normal moment today. Masked and socially distanced, one of our #PHYS1303 students and I used a force meter to measure the coefficient of static friction between a horseshoe and silicone. I said semi-normal. I was clear. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1379595353708724227/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/71618

    Today was the "bowling ball pendulum demo" in #PHYS1303. I really, really miss doing this in front of a very anxious class full of students. Instead, I had to show it using this video. Enjoy! https://smu.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=75a79f4f-759c-4ec0-861d-acfa01592457 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1377062321613328384/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/71574

    I take over #PHYS1303 next week from @profcooley and she heads off to teach the 2nd half of a special Higgs/Dark Matter course. Today I joined class to learn her best practices. 1 minute into her problem demo, she loses her notes and under the bus I go. Trial by fire! :-)

    Excited to be co-teaching #PHYS1303 (Introduction to Mechanics) this semester with @profcooley! We'll cover all the basics: space and time, motion, acceleration, forces, energy, momentum, oscillations, gravity, and angular motion! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1352074729516126213/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/70453

    My #PHYS1303 students suggested last lecture topics, then rank-voted them. The result? They are collectively most interested in black holes and the ultimate fate of the cosmos. My last lecture of the semester will be entitled: "Lives of Stars, Death of a Universe" https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1120332420400787456/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/57016

    Finished assembling and editing the draft of a little video project my "Assistants of T.E.A.C.H.I.N.G." strongly encouraged as a coda on our semester of #PHYS1303. Shout out @filmprofmark for his 5-min. "How not to suck" film-making lesson, and for hosting its "screening"!

    Today is payday for my students in #PHYS1303. Every time I make a mistake in my class, I put a dollar in the mistake jar at the front of the class. Enough mistakes = donuts for the class. It is ok to make mistakes. Admit them. Own them. Learn from them. Don't quit. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1103640934540021768/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/55726

    Sound advice for my #PHYS1303 students. Learning to handle the limits of your knowledge - and, yes, failure - is a crucial step toward learning to succeed. Find courage in your struggles. Look to yourself to understand your mistakes. https://twitter.com/jenheemstra/status/1090960769309585408

      Do you look up to someone but find yourself thinking “I could never reach that level”? The first step is to realize that they are human. They’ve struggled and failed, and still do. But, they find courage in their struggles and learn from their failures, and you can do the same.

    That day's activities: getting the DOE proposal project repo. into shape for my colleagues at SMU; writing summary report of #PHYS1303 course for our undergraduate committee; summarizing graduate recruitment notes. None of it finalized yet. But, time to pause.
