Introduction

This is an experimental course format and aims for a decentralized self-study course on Relativity. This page was started by me (jhouse), but I am not an authority on this topic.

Individual Responsibilities

There is no intention to recruit teachers to design a study plan, create/grade assignments, or provide insightful guidance. Instead this is intended to be a study group on the topic of Relativity. Regardless of how much you know coming into this, the hope is that study group memebers will take the following responsibilities:

  • Ask questions about topics that you're currently interested in
  • Provide your best guess as to the answer questions posted by others
  • Point out how posted answers conflict with your current understanding

Goals of this Course

This is as much a relativity learning excercise as it is an exercise in learning how to do decentralized, self-organized courses online. Wikibooks and many other online sources can give you a self-teaching material, but that is not the goal here. This course aims to foster a collaborative working environment among the individual members. Any official reference material created by this course may be a mistake, but I anticipate much of it to reference other authorites on the topic(s) discussed. Jhouse 15:28, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Discussion Pages

There are a number of course design issues that should be resolved before starting this section. Please click on the [[Talk:Wikiversity:Study_Group_For_Relativity|discussion tab at the top of this page]].
