Teaching Introductory Physics

** Description **
Introductory physics presents a challenge to students and teachers
alike. Arons has spent years studying how students understand
physical concepts, models, and lines of reasoning. In this guide,
he presents observations from throughout the physics teaching
community that have a direct bearing on classroom practice at the
most basic levels of the subject matter. Divided into three parts,
the first deals with basic teaching techniques, the second with
developing homework and tests, and the third introduces classical
conservation laws. It gives instructors everything they need to
make physics accessible.
