- Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
- Place: B343 Sterling Hall
- Speaker: Jim Reardon, UW-Madison
- Abstract: Physics 106 was first offered in Fall 2022 (as Physics 206) with an enrollment of 4 students, and has grown to have an enrollment (in Fall 2025) of 300 students. How did this happen? A brief description will be given of the evolution of Physics 106 instruments and methods, and an attempt will be made to assess the feedback loops responsible for the growth in enrollment.
