Also, in experimental nuclear physics, we get to build machines to smash atoms together and measure what comes out. I just find this the coolest thing to get to do. | ||

+ | Come to class with an open mindset! This style is incredibly beneficial (and fun), but it can be intimidating at first. Come to class prepared, build trust within your group, ask questions, and communicate. Don’t let yourself get bogged down by focusing on the “correct final answer”, focus on the process and the understanding. | ||

The in-class time is meant to be a discussion between you and your group, so when you come in, there are 3 to 4 immediate sources of help. When you are stuck or feeling like you're falling behind, speak up and ask what's going on or for a summary! Your tutor can help in that when they walk by, you can ask them questions or even approach them during help room hours for a recap of the day's work. The professors are there for more fundamental or more serious group questions/ | ||
