Several times during the course you will have the opportunity to compete with your fellow team-mates (your co-recitationists) for the famous "Physics for future Presidents cup". In these events the recitations – properly upgraded to teams and parties – will answer questions related to the course material in a pub-quiz-style. The quicker you can answer the questions, the more points you will secure for your party. Don't let your team mates down! These can be ferocious and adrenalin-laden events, and clickers have been known to expire their life in the heat of the moment after being pounded too franticly.

At the end of the class we'll celebrate the winners. While you're not allowed to keep the cup (sorry!), you'll get a certificate and (Physics budget permitting...) a T-shirt. Not to mention the eternal fame of having won a physics competition.
