Course Syllabus is here
Course Description: The goal of this course is to learn about light and associated phenomena. We will cover a broad range of topics including light, lenses, photography, vision, and color. This is a physics course, so we will approach these subjects with a rationalist perspective, but it is intended for non-scientists and will use a minimum of mathematics.

Blackboard software: Our course will utilize Blackboard software for homework assignments, notes, discussion and announcements. The link to our class is found through https://elms.umd.edu
Office Hours: Wednesday 3-5 (and anytime you drop by and I am there...)
CORE Info: Phys107 must be taken concurrently with Phys106 in order to meet the CORE Physical Science Lab (PL) requirement. Phys106 taken alone will not satisfy the CORE non-lab science (PS) requirement!
