Successful University Physics Course Redesign Using MasteringPhysics
Mastering: A 21st Century Teaching and Learning Tool
Diagnostics
“MasteringPhysics helps me identify individual students who are having difficulties and what their weak spots are.”
Professor Wayne R. Anderson, Sacramento City College
“The single greatest benefit to me, as a professor, is that I can see who is working and who is in trouble, and I can see globally what problems are causing difficulty.”
Professor Gene Sprouse, The State University of New York, Stony Brook
Tutorials
“MasteringPhysics provides guidance working through problems, optional hints, and intelligent feedback.”
Professor Laird Kramer, Florida International University
“I like that students can work through problems in detail, getting hints as needed. They can avoid getting stuck, and work through to a solution without having to wait for after the due date. The students (and I) like that they get rapid feedback on whether their answers are correct. This increases their confidence as they work through the homework problems.”
Professor Bob Jacobsen, University of California, Berkeley
Easy to Use
“Making assignments is very easy.”
Professor Grant Mathews, University of Notre Dame
“It's clear my students are spending more time on homework as a result of MasteringPhysics. It's also much easier for the instructor than the system we had been using.”
Professor Michael Cherney, Creighton University
