  • Prof. Wieman's thesis that you can treat learning like physics as the flaw that learning measurements are location-dependent and have non-reproducible systematic and random errors. With that caveat, he has some good results.

    Clickers and simulations help learning content and concepts because of the feedback. Good teaching requires challenging students and getting feedback.

    Prof. Wieman should say that simulations are not substitutes for labs, however. The miss the nature of science.

  • I'm only putting a comment because I don't think anyone else will. Who's that making the stupid noise at 50 seconds, they sound silly.
