<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Sometimes getting involved in a new topic can be overwhelming. To lower the barrier of getting started on a research topic related to plasma physics, we plan to teach a plasma physics
class for 2nd and 3rd undergraduate students. This class will be offered via zoom (and live at W&M) and will be taught as a reading class. In a reading class, each week, students will be assigned parts of a textbook to read and work through as preparation
for class. During the lecture itself, the instructor will first give a short summary of the material. Depending on the topic, the instructor might expand beyond what is in the textbook or connect the material to concepts that might relate to ongoing research
questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
