10 key ideas about the electronic properties of crystals

This semester I am co-teaching PHYS4030 Condensed Matter Physics: Electronic properties of crystals. This is a fourth year undergraduate (honours) course. Since there are only 5 students enrolled the course will run as an interactive reading course, somewhat similar to a biophysics course, BIPH3001 and PHYS3170 which I ran the last two years.
