In the Wednesday, our group went to Van Allen Hall after
class. It is a big white building closed the downtown. It was a good day. This is
an absolutely for study and take class. It has two big class room, at that
time, I think people are taking physics class in that room. In the ground
floor, share a lot of old things, kind like first pressure capsule. People take
some ESL Classes in the ground floor. Otherwise, people like sit in the aisle
to do homework. Also, we can see a lot of pictures about outer space on the
wall, those are from James A. Van Allen, a native Iowan, earned his Ph.D in
University of Iowa, and teach physics department for almost ten years. After we visited, we took a picture and back
home. (Jerry)
On Wednesday, I went to Van Allen Hall with my partners. I want to compare with Van Allen Hall and EPB Building. First, Van Allen Hall is bigger than EPB Building. Not only the built-up area, but also the room of Van Allen Hall is bigger than EPB’s. Next, Van Allen Hall has a floor for students and tourist to display some history about physics and astronomy faculty. EPB dose not have a floor like this. Also, I think it will be very helpful for IIEP students have classes in Van Allen Hall, because Van Allen Hall is super near with Seashore Hall. It is much easier to find teacher if we have some question or problem.(Joy)
The reason why I like Van Allen Commons and think there is a good place is that this place is located at the 3rd floor of Van Allen Hall where near to my dorm. And it is a very quiet place available for students to study. I also saw it has several spaces for students to have group work. There also have many computers. People in there are really engaging with their work it might be the interdependent function which is good for me since I'm not easy to focus on my work. Furthermore, Van Allen Commons is available for student use for so much time. It's through Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm. That's my opinion about Van Allen Commons.(Sean)
The stuff in there is cool!
