"Many traditional physics instructors think that introductory physics
courses should focus on the "skill" of *problem solving.* They assign
vast numbers of back-of-chapter problems and devote lectures and
"recitations" to going over problem solutions. Sorry guys, pre/post
testing demonstrates that "Students do not overcome conceptual
difficulties after solving 1000 traditional problems" [Kim & Pak
(2002)]."
