Pedagogy

How the heck do we have a course that teaches physics with a strong emphasis on physics problem solving skills. A course anyone can teach without special talent.

We don't have to reinvent wheel. Someone's done it. I just want a bloody page. Who, where, what?

To learn stuff, you have to think about the stuff. The approach is based on deliberate practice---some think it suffices, some think needs other things.
