Electromagnetism Unit of an Introductory University Physics Course: The Influence of a Reform-Based Tutorial

Journal of College Science Teaching—July/August 2012

This study assesses students' conceptual understanding and interest during the electrochemistry unit of a physics course for nonphysics majors that was revised in light of consistently low ratings from its students. The intervention, designed to improve the tutorials in a large lecture-based physics course, improved interest in the topic for which the new tutorials were implemented.
