Notes
A questionnaire would be sent to participants when they enroll. They
would be asked to respond by email to:
vczarnec@princeton.edu (Ginny
Czarnecki, secretary to RKP and WBR). The survey would attempt to let us
emphasize aspects of the course that are of most interest to the students.
The following questions would be asked:
a) What is your current position and experience in the areas covered by
the course?
b) What are your expectations for the course?
c) What particular problem(s) in the areas of complex fluids,
rheological measurements, and micro-rheological measurements would you
like help on?
d) Are there any research papers that you would like us to try to
address or explain?
While there is no guarantee that we will be able to address each
question that you have, if you give us this advanced notice we have a
better chance of being able to make a contribution during the lectures or
the discussion session at the end of each day. Our goal is not to lecture,
but to help you learn. We look forward to your participation, and we will
see you in Pittsburgh!
