Spiral Physics - Calculus Based

by Paul D'Alessandris

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

Spiral Physics is a research based introductory physics curriculum developed at Monroe Community College that integrates text and workbook activities in a modular fashion, and arranges topics so that students receive repeated exposure to concepts with increased complexity. It makes use of alternative problem types, including goal-less problem statements, ranking tasks, and critical analysis tasks. It restricts the equation set available for student use.
