00:00:04.212 --> 00:00:05.420
PROFESSOR GUNTHER ROLAND: OK.

00:00:05.420 --> 00:00:08.334
What is really unique in Junior
Lab compared to any other class

00:00:08.334 --> 00:00:10.120
that you could
think about teaching

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:15.250
is the breadth both in terms of
the material, the techniques,

00:00:15.250 --> 00:00:18.880
and the concepts that
you try to get across.

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:21.610
From the specific physics
of the experiments

00:00:21.610 --> 00:00:24.820
to sort of general tools
of experimentalists,

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:28.060
both in terms of apparatus
and in terms of computing,

00:00:28.060 --> 00:00:30.100
in terms of the
mathematical tools,

00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:33.530
understanding systematic
uncertainties.

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:38.530
Then the communication
elements from how

00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:40.360
to write a paper,
how to give a talk,

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:45.010
how to prepare a poster, to sort
of a very general sort of life

00:00:45.010 --> 00:00:48.330
skills, like time management,
which really is critical

00:00:48.330 --> 00:00:51.160
as you do this sequence
of experiments.

00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:52.840
The collaboration
with their partners,

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.360
which is something that many
of them haven't experienced.

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:00.100
So Junior Lab really covers
many different aspects and one

00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:02.090
has to really think
about which are the ones

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:07.040
that one wants to emphasize
as a lecturer in the lab.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.140
And I think it also is important
to really keep things fresh

00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:14.870
and try to innovate
something every year.

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:18.580
A new experiment, new
elements, just to really keep

00:01:18.580 --> 00:01:22.500
the experience up to date.
