Past MIT courses:
I have taught 8.022 quite a few times
(lectures S04, S05; recitations S03, F03, F05, F08, F14, S21; lecture
notes here).
2006 School
of Science Prize for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.

I have taught relativity multiple times (undergrad version, 8.033 in
F10, F11; and grad version, 8.962 in S06, S07, S08, S09, S19, S20).
Lecture notes for the last iteration of my undergrad version
available here; for the grad
