Re: [Phys-L] conceptual physics

["Jeffrey Schnick" <JSchnick@Anselm.Edu>]

Alex,
Thanks for the statement about the overwhelming goal.  I like that one.  I have some physics questions that meet the criteria you mentioned below (mixed in with ones that don't meet those criteria) posted at
<http://www.anselm.edu/internet/physics/cbphysics/>
Look under 1st Semester Downloads for Class-Questions and On-Line-Quiz-Questions.  They are in a couple of different formats; the pdf version is probably the most accessible.  Likewise for 2nd Semester Downloads.
