Required Senior Year Experience for all resident Physics majors. In the accompanying lab course, students design and carry out individual research projects under the mentorship of a departmental faculty member. During weekly meetings, students attend seminar talks, discuss research methods, engage in peer mentoring, and practice scientific communication skills. A significant amount of class time will be spent writing and peer-reviewing senior theses. The course culminates in a progress report that is given as a formal oral presentation.
