PH446 Research in Physics III One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Final grade of B or higher in PH444 Research in Physics II, and permission of the Dean of Science. Meeting pattern: Eight periods per week including three labs. In this course, students continue work on their previous research to produce additional data and analysis, as needed, or to research extension questions based on their original work. Students in this course have a leadership role in working with the junior students enrolled in Research in Physics. PH448 Research in Physics IV One trimester Credit: 1 unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Final grade of B or higher in PH446 Research in Physics III, and permission of the Dean of Science. Meeting pattern: Eight periods per week including three labs. In this course, students continue work on their previous research to produce additional data and analysis, as needed, or to research extension questions based on their original work. Students in this course have a leadership role in working with the junior students enrolled in Research in Physics and may serve as teaching assistants. PH490, PH492, AND PH494 Advanced Topics in Physics One trimester each Credit: One unit each core elective credit. Prerequisite: Permission of the Dean of Science. This course offers an opportunity for students with an especially strong background in physics to pursue a rigorous course of study of a topic outside the standard curriculum. Students are expected to make frequent presentations in class. They also may be required to make formal presentations outside of class and to write a paper on the topic. The course is designed for students who have exhausted other course offerings, or whose preparation is substantially more advanced than that required of students taking a standard course. CROSS-LISTED COURSES Courses listed below are interdisciplinary courses in more than one science subject area and/or a science subject area and an additional subject area.
