This section exists for us to process our learnings from each module so we don’t scramble too hard for Finals. In addition, the most valuable part of the Oxford tutorial is the vigorous debate on ideas – yet there are only so few tutorial hours. We welcome your comments on the posts below – no need for academic citations!
This page will mostly contain E&M topics, because that’s what we’ve been reading. If anyone wants to contribute topics from other subjects, or some perspective from E&M we haven’t covered below, please reach out! Always happy to hear from other subjects that are less easy and manageable.
