The collection of almost 500 clicker questions can be used in any physics course to quickly identify students' conceptual understanding. To facilitate research-driven best practices, the questions have been organized into more than 160 interactive classroom sessions. Each session consists of several questions designed to be delivered in a specific sequence. There are enough sessions to cover an entire introductory physics course in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and waves. Each question in a sequence covers the same underlying physics concept, but with different surface features, ensuring students develop deeper understanding. And each question has a detailed solution.
Using a personal response system (clickers) in class increases student interaction and participation. When you choose this textbook in WebAssign, you will find PowerPoint slides for classroom use in the Resources section of the faculty section in WebAssign. These materials are based on research from the Ohio State University Physics Education Research Group.
