1 00:00:04,212 --> 00:00:05,420 PROFESSOR GUNTHER ROLAND: OK. 2 00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:08,334 What is really unique in Junior Lab compared to any other class 3 00:00:08,334 --> 00:00:10,120 that you could think about teaching 4 00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:15,250 is the breadth both in terms of the material, the techniques, 5 00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:18,880 and the concepts that you try to get across. 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,610 From the specific physics of the experiments 7 00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:24,820 to sort of general tools of experimentalists, 8 00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:28,060 both in terms of apparatus and in terms of computing, 9 00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:30,100 in terms of the mathematical tools, 10 00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,530 understanding systematic uncertainties. 11 00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:38,530 Then the communication elements from how 12 00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:40,360 to write a paper, how to give a talk, 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,010 how to prepare a poster, to sort of a very general sort of life 14 00:00:45,010 --> 00:00:48,330 skills, like time management, which really is critical 15 00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:51,160 as you do this sequence of experiments. 16 00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,840 The collaboration with their partners, 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,360 which is something that many of them haven't experienced. 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,100 So Junior Lab really covers many different aspects and one 19 00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,090 has to really think about which are the ones 20 00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:07,040 that one wants to emphasize as a lecturer in the lab. 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,140 And I think it also is important to really keep things fresh 22 00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:14,870 and try to innovate something every year. 23 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:18,580 A new experiment, new elements, just to really keep 24 00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:22,500 the experience up to date.
