Re: Socratic Method - AP Physics Has No Effective Archive

title of 14 Nov 2002 14:32:54-0800 [he quotes it anonymously :-( !! ]:

BTW: Many list subscribers appear to be unaware that the marvelous
LISTSERV archive search engines of Phys-L, Phys-LrnR, and Physhare
(but not AP-Physics :-( ) provide goldmines of information on physics
education.

In fact, AP does now archive:

But the point I attempted to make was that the AP-Physics Archives
are NOT goldmines of information on physics education, as anyone who
has tried to use them can testify. I have never understood why the
wealthy College Board does not see fit to provide AP-Physics with
something better than the unbelievably primitive and nearly useless
LYRIS archives.
