What are the three major things to look for in each section?
Preface Student Guide
This website is primarily intended as a collection of pre-class resources that help you learn and practice introductory physics concepts. Most sections are designed to have a few different core elements, each of which has a different purpose.
A central feature of most sections, often occurring at the very start, is a video lesson. Click on the link after this paragraph to see what one looks like (no need to watch the video just yet, unless you are especially curious about vectors). The video lessons are usually designed to be short and focused, and it is an excellent idea to take notes on them.
Example of Video Lesson: Vector Operations
In addition to a video lesson, most sections have Key Ideas from the video written out so that you have something to reference later. Important aspects that you will want to have at your fingertips will be in a box like the ones you can click on below. The most fundamental of these—Definitions and Principles—have a colorful banner.
Example of an important aspect: Check Units
Example of a key physical principle: The Law of Motion
The last major part of each section are the Activities. Each Activity will be bounded by a bright, angled border, and is generally something you should try out for yourself (or with a friend!). Some activities will also have hints, answers, or solutions embedded within them to help you out if you get stuck.
Last of all, if you see something clickable, it usually contains extra information or additional detail that is not critical to review before class. This might include historical notes, biographical information, or worked examples.
