A Program for Integrating Math and Physics Internet-Based Teaching Tools into Large University Physics Courses
arXiv:physics/0505026 · doi:10.1119/1.2136456
Abstract
Significant obstacles prevent large, university-level, introductory physics courses from effectively teaching problem-solving skills. We describe our program for integrating three internet-based "teaching-while-quizzing" tools to address two of these barriers: students' poor math skills and instructors' insufficient grading recourses. We outline our system of math remediation, homework and after-homework quizzes, and mini-practice exams, and demonstrate how it can be incorporated into courses with modest instructor effort.
