How can I fulfill “writing across the curriculum” requirements in a physics class?
July 11, 2019 by Leslie Atkins ElliottMany universities require a "writing across the curriculum" (WAC) course, where students receive focused instruction on writing in their discipline. Informal writing is integral to how physicists do physics. By explicitly attending to informal writing, you can address many WAC goals and support the effective use of research-based methods in physics.

Best practices for whiteboarding in the physics classroom
September 22, 2017 by Sam McKagan and Daryl McPaddenWhiteboards are an indispensable tool that physicists use to work out ideas individually and collaboratively, and to present those ideas, both for public discussion and critique of tentative ideas and for communication of more fully formed ideas. In this recommendation, we offer guidance for how to use whiteboarding effectively in your classroom.
