Week 3and 4 The physics behind four amazing demonstrations

The article named "The Physics behind four amazing demonstrations"was very interesting to read. David G. Willey uses four dramaticdemonstrations to prove physics theory. He walks on a bed of brokenglass, has a concrete block broken on him while lying between twobeds of nail, dips his fingers in molten lead and finally picks up anorange hot piece of space shuttle tile. The article basicallyexplains the procedures for David G. Willey to introduce physics in amuch more interesting way to the student. I think it is a wonderfulway to make physics an interesting subject to learn. Definitely morestudents would not be intimidated by taking a difficult course suchas Physics.I agree with David G. Willey that in order for a subject to beinteresting for the student, the professor or instructor shouldfirst grab the audience attention and interest before proceeding toteach the principals and meaning about any given topic. In this caseit would be about the theory of physics. I have had similarexperience as Mr. Willey, in which the instructor or professor talksfor the entire class hour and does not even acknowledge the student.That is great the he /she are able to introduce the topics to thestudents because they know their stuff, but it's not any help to thestudent when the student can't ask questions and make some sort ofcontact with the instructor. I believe that a person that enjoysteaching would try to make the course interesting for the studentinstead of making the course difficult to understand because at theend the student would have no choice but to drop the class becausehe / she was never given an opportunity to ask or have a visualpresentation so the subject would be better understood. I also thinkthat Mr. Willey way of using dramatic demonstrations is for studentsto realize that the mind is a powerful tool that humans have and thatanything is possible to do with adequate precautions and instructionson how to do experiments like he did. That is a great tactic thatMr. Willey uses to make students want to attend class on a dailybasis.
