    This is a collection of 223 open ended physics questions Kapitza used to use on the hard core russian version of the Q exam. Fun to work through once and a while. If you ever work through a question, be sure to send it my way, I'd love to see it.

    thoughtful post with useful comments on the how students struggle with symbolic manipulation and can do much better with problems that involve only numbers. Comments are interesting too.

AP physics

shared by John Burk on 27 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • BTW: Mazur also noted in our conversation that his years of experience on the Physics AP design committee made him less than enthusiastic about AP’s. He has data showing that student who got 5s on the Physics AP do worse than other Harvard Physics students who did not take the AP’s – a sobering thought.

    This will give students a great way to look into the mindset of how their friends work when problem solving.

  • The lecture backlash signals an evolving vision of college as participatory exercise. Gone are the days when the professor could recite a textbook in class. The watchword of today is “active learning.” Students are working experiments, solving problems, answering questions — or at least registering an opinion on an interactive “smartboard” with an electronic clicker.

  • A new biology course had 22 freshmen fan out across campus last fall for dirt samples, from which each student culled a new and heretofore unknown virus. Now, the class has picked one virus for genetic mapping.
  • Not all the ideas are new. At the University of Maryland College Park, engineering professors eliminated introductory lecture courses in 1991. Since then, students have spent the crucial first year engaged in actual engineering, building swing sets, helicopters and hovercrafts.

    One of the articles in the July 29 Science Magazine on population. It is only the summary of the article. Full text requires membership and login. I do have the hardcopy of the journal to share.
