This course requires a group research which constitutes 15% of the total grade. This requirements consists of a 10 page written report ( MS Word, 12 point Times New Roman) which constitutes 10% of the total grade and a group power point presentation (5% of the total grade) on Dec. 3 and Dec. 5. The research must include the followings:

References of the paper for the original theory/experimental observations
Experimental proof or theoretical prediction stemming from the original observation plus any subsequent experiments and theoretical improvements
Importance and impact of the theory/experiment in shaping physics and everyday lives at the time of the discovery, at present time and into the future
Paper references must be sought and included in your report.

The deadline for the 10 page (Max) individual research report is Monday, Nov. 26, 2012. A MS Word template for the report should be downloaded and used for your report.
