I've been applying to a bunch of faculty positions recently, and one requested a recorded teaching sample. I made this, giving an introduction to special relativity. Questions & feedback are welcome!
This is purely a content on form, not content, but the number of "um"s is pretty high. If it's possible to practice replacing that verbal placeholder with silence, I find that to be much preferable.
Oh, one little comment question: I would be puzzled about why that second postulate isn't obviously ludicrous; you might want to head off that confusion by stating that experiments in the decades before Special Relativity seemed to show that postulate two really happens.
