Física I

Undergraduate laboratory about Newtonian dynamics for the Bachelor in Science program.</a>.
Course given during the first year of the Bachelor in Science. It aims to understand not only the basic elements of classical mechanics such as force, movement, and energy, through an interactive experience. Also my first time as a professor, I encouraged my students to see the empirical way of science as a new way of learning and give their results as a scientific paper to learn how they work.

LFIS121

Undergraduate introduction to classical mechanics course taught by Dr. Quintin Molina.
Course given during the first year of the BSc. in Physics. It aims to understand not only the basic elements of classical mechanics such as force, movement, and energy, but also be one of the initial courses for a physics student. During my time as TA, I encouraged my students using a weekly guide homework to be constantly exercising the physical and mathematical thinking behind the contents of the program of study.

LFIS323

Undergraduate laboratory course aimed to modern physics, taught by MSc. Osvaldo Herrera.
Course given during the third year of the BSc. in Physics, where the main goal is to re-create famous physics experiments of the last century and measure quantities and effects such as the charge-mass ratio of the electron, the photoelectric effect or calculate the Balmer lines. My function as TA was to not only assist the professor in the laboratory but also assist individually each student with their troubles during each experiment. Not only that, I was also in charge of the revision of the laboratory reports, where I gave constant feedback and encouraged them to improve their scientific writing skills.

LFIS211

Undergraduate introduction to classical electromagnetism course taught by Dr. Graeme Candlish.
Course given during the second year of the BSc. in Physics. The goal of the course is to understand the basic elements of classical electromagnetism from Coulomb's Law to Maxwell's Equations. For my work as a TA, I wanted to reinforce the theoretical formulation given by the professor due to the mathematical complexity that this course means. Not only that, I also encouraged the students to work and exercise each theme, where I gave a set of documents with problems.

LFIS214

Undergraduate course aimed at the introduction to Mathematica focused in science. Course taught by Dr. Michel Curé.
Course given during the second year of the BSc. in Physics. This course aims to introduce students to the use of Wolfram Mathematica for science and, specifically, physics. For this course, my work as TA was to reinforce the understanding of the students in the basic use of the programming language, where I focused on the use of exercises and weekly sessions to solve them, where I answered any question that could appear during the class sessions with the professor.
