2. Online CheckPoints (quizzes to check knowledge, completed before lecture)

3. Textbook (reference)

Anthony Pantziris Slide 8

How we’ll use smartPhysics

You will VIEW video PreLectures before class:

CONFRONT the concepts and principles

Anthony Pantziris Slide 9

How we’ll use smartPhysics

Next, you’ll complete a CheckPoint quiz before class:CHECK your understanding of the PreLecture

Anthony Pantziris Slide 10

How we’ll use smartPhysics

COME to Lecture!The lecture will be more INTERACTIVE

because of the work you’ve done before class

Anthony Pantziris Slide 11

Interactive Lectures (using computer projector)

Address questions and difficulties expressed by students from the prelectures and checkpoints

Work out examples

Use checkpoint questions plus others tosurvey class (“vote” with color-coded cards)

Lectures

Anthony Pantziris Slide 12

You should spend at least 3 hours on prelectures and homework for every lecture!

1. MAKE A GOOD EFFORT ON THE ONLINE ACTIVITIES. The last CheckPoint question is optional and is called “Lecture Thoughts.” I will study these before class and will adjust the lecture to your needs.

2. PARTICIPATE IN LECTURE. You will learn more (and have more fun) from an active setting in which you participate with the instructor and your peers to probe your understanding of the fundamental principles.

3. DO THE HOMEWORK THE RIGHT WAY!!! To truly understand physics you must practice solving problems. Work on the homework on your own as far as possible. Then go to your discussion section, to learn techniques on how to solve problems and ask for hints that will help you finish your assignment. If you still need help, go to the help lab. Peer instruction is very much encouraged at this point.
