200 Interesting Physics Problems
From Cambridge University. My students have hacked my current problem sets in which the problems come from text books. I think Cramster may be involved. They’re honest enough to tell me that they’re finding help online and using the internet for help does not, in itself, bother me all that much except that the goal of problem sets is to put them into an unfamiliar situation and the internet is pulling them out of that situation. So I’m hoping these problems from Cambridge might help. I’m also going to look around the MIT problem sets and practice exams and see if I can find any calculus-free problems.
“ Here lies a new reality in challenging system-wide change towards a more “standards-based” reporting method in our schools today: traditional grading schemes promote a “compliance” mentality and parents seem to be happy with it because they feel like they have more control. “Un-schooling” both students and parents is a natural first step, but what does this look like?
