Physics 7- A Restructured College Physics Course
-- Course Goals --


Develop and Implement an Introductory Physics Course That:

* Is predicated on a Constructivist Perspective incorporating results of research by education reformers, science educators, physics educators, cognitive scientists, as well as our own experience

* Continually evolves in response to Student Performance

* Works within the Constraints imposed by handling 1200+ students per year

* Serves as a Model for reforming Physics Courses as well as other Introductory Science Courses

* Serves as a Model of a Pedagogically Appropriate introductory science course for Future Teachers at all levels
