Instructions for Jigsaw Assignments

 

1.      The class will be divided into two types of teams. One set of teams will be named by alphabets and another set by names of physicists.

2.      The teams named by physicists will be graded collectively on their submission of notes of the theory and their presentations. This will consist of 1/3 of the grade for the jigsaw. Notes can be in the form of PowerPoint presentations and Word files. These will be iterated with the instructor to ensure an appropriate standard for presentation to the class. First submission of the notes will be a week before they are presented.

3.      The teams labeled by alphabets will be graded collectively on the submission and presentations of their solved examples and conducting of tutorials. The solved examples will constitute a third of the grade for the jigsaw and a third will be for the tutorial.

4.       The content for the jigsaw is from pages 238-256 from the text.  These are sections up to 6.4 of chapter 6. It also includes the notes on chapter 6 and the last two pages of the notes of chapter 1.

5.      The table below gives a listing of students by their teams. A student can belong to only one numbered team and only one alphabet team. No team can have more than three students in it.

6.      Team Newton will be responsible for the first 1/3 of the theory, Team Lagrange for the second 1/3 and Team Hamilton for the remaining. All teams should coordinate their efforts to ensure proper division into thirds and continuity and completion of the syllabus for this chapter. Team A, B and C will each do one solved example in detail in class and one tutorial each. In each alphabetical team three distinct persons will present the theory notes, the solved examples and conduct the tutorial. For teams will two members only, the solved example will be a shared presentation by both students. Written solutions will be submitted to the solved example and the tutorial by the respective team one week before it is presented to the class.

7.      Each team will present their theory for 20 mins. Team A and B will present their theory portions on 10th Nov. Team C will do so on 12th Nov. Solved examples will be done in ½ the class on 12th Nov. and the 15th and ½ the class on 17th.  Tutorials will take place in the latter ½ of the 17th and on 19th and 22nd.
