-**What excites you about physics**: I find that learning physics is very exciting; the notion of understanding the ways in which the universe operates is quite fascinating. I grow more intrigued as I learn about new phenomena, and I feel as though I have truly found my passion.+**What excites you about physics**: Having the tools to understand why things happen–like why the pitch gets higher and higher as you fill up your water bottle.
  
 +**Advice on how to approach EMP-Cubed**: In order to practice physics, you and your group will have to risk sharing ideas you aren’t sure about–be kind to others and yourself
  
-**Advice on how to approach EMP-Cubed**: Stay ahead of schedule by reviewing ideas before class, because it will make class time feel much more productive+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?** Help room is a great resource, if you're struggling or if you're just not sure.

Whether it’s approaching a challenging problem by breaking it into manageable steps or modeling a complex system as a sum of individual parts, physics has made what seems impossible, possible and allows you to do some pretty cool things.

-**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed:**  Write things out and organize your thoughts and information in a way that flows for you. If you haven't tried it much, try writing things in variable form and see the broader relationships between the things present in the expression! If you don't know if an answer makes sense, compare it to something you do know and see if the units work out. Order of magnitude estimates and unit checks are your friend!+**Help room hours**: Tuesdays 6 - 8 pm
  
-**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Go to office hours or the help room! Either are great options that will save you a lot of head racking all while being a great way to establish connections with your peers and physics faculty. Finding help does not make you a lesser student, but rather shows that you know how to use your time efficiently and utilize the resources available to you to learn. Be patient with yourself. Physics can be hard, and it took hundreds of years for humans to collectively figure this stuff out. You are learning it in a few months.+**Email**: wooleya2@msu.edu

 **What excites you about physics**:  Physics is both a great way to learn about cool aspects of the world around us, and also a toolkit that's useful for thinking about a very broad range of problems: breaking them down into models, applying quantitative reasoning or computation to understand what the models predict, and using graphs and data to evaluate evidence. **What excites you about physics**:  Physics is both a great way to learn about cool aspects of the world around us, and also a toolkit that's useful for thinking about a very broad range of problems: breaking them down into models, applying quantitative reasoning or computation to understand what the models predict, and using graphs and data to evaluate evidence.
  
-**Advice on how to approach EMP-Cubed**:  EMP-Cubed asks you to go beyond little self-contained "crossword-puzzle physics" problems and learn how to think about and model bigger, more open-ended problems.  The point is not to memorize equations, but to be able to apply them to whatever crazy new situation you're given.  Be sure to prepare before class so that you can apply the new principles to the problems we'll work on.  There won't always be a single right answer, and the hardest part is usually figuring out a reasonable model to apply.+**Advice on how to approach EMP-Cubed**:  EMP-Cubed asks you to go beyond little self-contained "crossword-puzzle physics" problems and learn how to think about and model bigger, more open-ended problems.  There won't always be a single right answer, and finding a good model to apply is often the hardest part.  The point is not to memorize equations, but to understand them well enough to be able to apply them to whatever crazy new situation is in front of you.  Be sure to read the notes and do the prep problems before class so that you can spend your time applying the new principles to the problems we'll work on.

 +==== Theo Bott (He/Him) ====
 +{{184_notes:theobott.jpg?200}}
 +
 +**Sections**: 3 & 4
 +
 +**Research Area**: Physics Education Research
 +
 +**Description of research in that area**: I am currently researching the ways in which computational thinking manifests in introductory physics classrooms, and how we can guide curricular design to promote computational thinking engagement.
 +
 +**What excites you about physics**: I find that learning physics is very exciting; the notion of understanding the ways in which the universe operates is quite fascinating. I grow more intrigued as I learn about new phenomena, and I feel as though I have truly found my passion.
 +
 +
 +**Advice on how to approach EMP-Cubed**: Stay ahead of schedule by reviewing ideas before class, because it will make class time feel much more productive
 +
 +
 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?** I’d recommend reaching out to an LA who could point you in the right direction of where a valuable resource might be for your unique situation, including online notes, homework problems, exam prep folders, help room, discussion board, etc. 
 +

 +
 +{{course_planning:Grauvogel.jpg?300}}
 +
 +**Section**: 4
 +
 +**Major**: PhD in physics 
 +
 +**Future plans**: Becoming a professor and or making a career out of nuclear physics research
 +
 +**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed:**  Write things out and organize your thoughts and information in a way that flows for you. If you haven't tried it much, try writing things in variable form and see the broader relationships between the things present in the expression! If you don't know if an answer makes sense, compare it to something you do know and see if the units work out. Order of magnitude estimates and unit checks are your friend!
 +
 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Go to office hours or the help room! Either are great options that will save you a lot of head racking all while being a great way to establish connections with your peers and physics faculty. Finding help does not make you a lesser student, but rather shows that you know how to use your time efficiently and utilize the resources available to you to learn. Be patient with yourself. Physics can be hard, and it took hundreds of years for humans to collectively figure this stuff out. You are learning it in a few months.
