• Resumen

  • Introductory physics courses can be a challenge for some college students, especially those that have not taken Advanced Placement (AP) physics courses in high school. Even some classical mechanics concepts, such as energy, power, or the laws of Newton, can be non-intuitive and hard to grasp. When it comes to evaluating the learning outcome of our students, some of the aspects we evaluate are their abilities to solve numerical problems. By solving problems the students show how well they understood the concepts and the problem-solving methods. But students can practice enough and learn how to solve related numerical exercises without a deep understanding of the physical concepts. When asked more conceptual questions, some students struggle and lack confidence.
