TERM PAPER TOPICS THAT ARE NOT PERMITTED
The following objects or topics are covered extensively in
the lectures and notes for Physics 105 and Physics 106N. You
would have difficulty writing a paper on one of these subjects
that is truly your own work. It would be just too easy and too
tempting to copy my approach, my thoughts, even my words. My lectures
and notes should be only part of the reference materials you use
for your term paper. Find an object that I do not discuss directly
in depth and use similarities between your object and some of
mine to identify the physical principles that make your object
work.
