From the Authors
We now spend a fair fraction of our lecture time asking questions, asking students to talk to their neighbors, to vote on answers…the lecture experience now is one of the most satisfying experiences I've had [as a teacher].... —Gary Gladding

Why smartPhysics?
Students who have used smartPhysics prefer it over traditional solutions. Why?
smartPhysics PREPARES your students—like never before
smartPhysics's assignable PreLecture tutorials and assessments—to be completed before class—help students get ready for lecture. Your students come to class prepared to solve problems and actively participate in peer discussions and activities.
smartPhysics WORKS
Published, peer-reviewed, NSF-funded research supports the efficacy of smartPhysics. Students who use smartPhysics have better comprehension and retention of material, and they report that they are more satisfied with their learning and lecture experiences.
Student survey result show the fraction of students who a) thought the course was very difficult, b) have a positive attitude towards physics, c) thought lectures were important in helping them know the material. The left bar represents the average value for the 7 years before PreLectures were included in the course; the right bar portrays responses for fall 2008, after PreLectures were added.
smartPhysics is AFFORDABLE
smartPhysics is priced at about half the price of a traditional book or system.
smartPhysics MAKES THE BEST USE OF YOUR TIME
You can use smartPhysics student performance reports to gauge what your students understand—and what they don't—to adjust your lecture and address class confusion.
