JOLIET — Don Kanner seems to have missed the point of Jearl Walker's presentations of physics material (Voice, March 17). Students are learning, and Mr. Walker is enjoying his work.
I seem to remember during my days at Lane Tech in the mid-'70s a course titled "Jolly Physics" by the students, or "Applied Physics" by the science department. It applied physics to everyday life, with lots of movies, demonstrations, etc. I seem to recall a lot of students enrolled in the course, and they enjoyed it much more than those in "regular" physics.
