  • PHYS 400: Physics Portfolio

    1.00 Credits
    Southern Adventist University

    Each student majoring in Physics may compile a portfolio consisting of records of participation in professional activities as suggested by departmental faculty and as initiated by the student. Examples of activities include but are not limited to the following: attendance at club meetings, professional film showings, visiting-scientist seminar, and research review sessions, reading of journals and books, participation at professional meetings, preparation for graduate school and for employment, and lists of concepts or new ideas. The portfolio is reviewed upon the student's registration for this course during the senior year. The grade earned for this credit will depend upon the persistence of the student in participation during his/her stay at Southern Adventist University and during summers, and upon the breadth and depth of the entries. It also depends upon the student having his/her portfolio reviewed by the Department at the end of each preceding semester, and the extent to which the Department's suggestions on those occasions are implemented.

  • PHYS 480: Scientific Writing and Presentation

    1.00 Credits
    Southern Adventist University

    Prerequisite: COMM 135 Principles and techniques of writing for news releases, periodicals, and research journals. Practice in scientific meeting oral and poster-session presentation. It is expected that the written reports be done with a word processor and that the student will have done some original research of an experimental, computational, or theorem-proving nature before enrolling in this course. PHYS 295/495 and 297/497 exist to fulfill this requirement and there are numerous opportunities with pay at universities and national laboratories during the student's junior-senior summer. (Fall)
