PHYS 151: Online Social Physics

We aim at constructing a fully online course in introductory physics at the calculus-based level that will provide students an authentic means of interacting with both the instructor and their peers in the course as members of a local scientific community while engaging this challenging material. Through the use of an innovative online interaction tool, Social Homework by Edudotonline.com, we aim to provide 1) excellent preparation for downstream STEM coursework, 2) an authentic experience of physics as an academic discipline and career, and 3) and affordable and flexible online course.
