Communications

PHY 418: Statistical Mechanics I
CommunicationsA key factor for success in this course is to have good communications, both between me (the instructor) and you (the student), as well as among you and your fellow classmates. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you make contact with your classmates to form study groups to work on problems together and learn from each other! In all your communications, no matter on what platform, you are expected to act in a polite and respectful manner to your classmates and instructors, and to adhere to the student code of conduct. Virtual interactions are held to the same standards that apply to in-person interactions on campus. See the Student Code of Conduct for further information. The communication platforms we will use in this course are: Zoom is a video conferencing application that we can make use of when a virtual meeting is more convenient than meeting in-person. The Zoom app runs on most computers and mobile devices. The Zoom links to meet with Prof. Teitel and the TAs can be found on the Blackboard site for the course here. You must email in advance to schedule a Zoom meeting.
An old fashioned but tried and true way to stay in touch is via email. If you wish to email one or several of your classmates you may use the Blackboard system's Email capability (now called "Messages"). Note, you must be logged into the Blackboard system to use this email capability. You are also welcome to email me directly at stte@pas.rochester.edu, or to email our TAs, Sean at skelty@ur.rochester.edu and Ziggy at zlin22@ur.rochester.edu, if you have questions.
Pictures! To help everyone get to know each other, please upload a small headshot of yourself to Blackboard and Zoom.
