This page will always be, for obvious reasons, under construction. It will include links to sites about physics or related fields. The resources cover activities and programs not only for university students but also K-12 students; the latter links will hopefully prove useful to those involved in community outreach programs. If you know of specific good sites that you think I should include here, or have ideas for specific resources please let me know. Thanks.

Our Department's original assessment document Goals and Assessments for Student Learning is here.
