Optimally Engineering Traditional Introductory Physics Classes.

Stewart, Gay B.; Stewart, John C.; Slape, Sean; Osborn, Jon

Journal of Science Education and Technology, v6 n4 p297-314 Dec 1997

Presents a measurement of the time and resources committed to traditional student actions such as reading and working homework. The perception of the educational value of each action for both students and faculty is captured. Basic educational efficiencies are computed for a traditional mechanics course and a nontraditional hands-on Electricity and Magnetism course. (Author/DKM)
