This college-level, calculus-based Introductory Newtonian Mechanics course covers all of the topics and learning objectives specified in the College Board Course Description for Advanced Placement®Physics C (Mechanics). It covers Newton’s Laws, Kinematics, Energy, Momentum, Rigid Body Rotation, and Angular Momentum and applies these basic principles to topics including harmonic motion, orbital motion, and online laboratory activities The course also covers applications of these basic principles to topics including simple harmonic motion, orbital motion, online laboratories, and to problems that involve more than one basic principle. Our emphasis is on helping students learn expert-like ways of solving challenging problems, many of which are similar to problems on previous Advanced Placement Examinations in Mechanics C. We stress a key concept: mechanics is about forces changing motion. We apply this concept to organizing the core knowledge in a way that helps students apply it to sophisticated multi-concept problems. We feel this is the best way to prepare students for success not only on the AP Examination but also in other college-level science, technology, engineering and math courses that emphasize problem-solving. If you do not plan on taking the AP Physics C (Mechanics) examination this year, but do plan on taking it in the future, we recommend the “warm-up” edX course On-Ramp to AP* Physics C: Mechanics. Learn more about our High School and AP* Exam Preparation Courses We are grateful to Michael Dubson for contributing his video lectures, to Peter Bohacek and ISD 197 for use of his Direct Measurement Videos, and to Andrew Duffy, who helped design some of the accompanying lab activities. Google, MIT, and the Wertheimer Fund provided financial support. edX also provided financial support for the creation of this course. * Advanced Placement and AP are registered trademarks of the College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse, these offerings. Note: Taking this Course Involves Using Some Experimental Materials The RELATE group that authors and administers this course is an education research group, dedicated to understanding and improving education, especially online. We showed that 8.MReV generated slightly more conceptual learning than a conventionally taught on-campus course - and we’re working to find what caused this learning. (So far this is the only published measurement of learning in a MOOC). This spring we will be comparing learning from different types of online activities that will be administered to randomly assigned sub-groups of our students. At certain points in the course, new vs. more traditional sequences of activities will be assigned to different groups. We will then use common questions to compare the amount learned. Which group receives the new activities will be switched so that all groups will have some new activities. Our experimental protocol has been approved by the MIT Committee on Use of Human Subjects. As part of this approval we have the obligation to inform you about these experiments and to assure you that: Note: By clicking on the “Access Courseware” button, you indicate that you understand that everyone who participates in this course is randomly assigned to one of the groups described above.
