Re: Aims of Freshman

Personally, I think we need to get a little more realistic about what can be
accomplished in a year with freshman, a lot of whom probably got to the

I agree and I think that "inadequately" is too kind, "inappropriately" is
maybe a better description. This is not a slur on K - 12 teachers, but,
instead, on the way we teach science/physics.
