Caltech Project for Effective Teaching Seminar - Prof. Steven Frautschi
Professor Frautschi, recipient of the 2013-2014 Feynman Teaching Prize, will share his experiences from an illustrious career of teaching at Caltech. From the Feynman teaching prize announcement:
Students describe Frautschi as "amazing," "awesome," and "beyond helpful." They enjoy his "use of uncommon real-world examples" along with his "awesome Converse shoes," and they say "learning from him is a blast." Others go even further. A biology major confesses, "I used to absolutely hate physics because I thought it was too difficult and useless, but Frautschi really clarified my understanding and sparked my interest in physics." Now, says this student, "I wouldn't be opposed to being a physics major solely because of him." Another student says simply, "I want to be like Professor Frautschi when I grow up."
