Videos
Short concept videos are designed to introduce the topics in Statics. These videos which students watch before class average 5.5 minutes in length and each contain one bit of what would typically go in a lecture. During a semester, these videos are embedded inside Moodle with a day-to-day schedule where each day also includes html presentations, daily concept quizzes, daily practice quizzes, and daily practice problems. Each day also includes specific learning objectives for that material as well as samples from old homework problems and sample exam questions. The concept videos are provided here (left column) for students who have left the class and want to review or for students who take Statics in the summer and would not otherwise have access to my videos. Example videos for each day are in the right column.
