I purchased this book because it was required for a course, General Physics I. It has what seem to be your standard physics laboratory activities. Learning this way was much more useful than reading a textbook or listening to lectures, but the activities did not stand out as particularly new, different, or better than any other lab manual.
I go to UNCC and took phys 1101. This book is an older version of the current manual ($30 at Barnes and Noble). But IT DOES WORK. Some of the pages numbers are different, but they're easily found! Sooo worth the deal.
I bought this book to use for the HS physics class that I teach, and the labs are fantastic, well-written, and are writen in a specific order to help the kids learn the material.
This book looks really good for physics students. I bought it so I could look over the activities and decide whether to use it for an introductory lab I teach at the community college.I like the way it introduces concepts and builds. Students may have trouble with it, however, because there are a lot of instructions. It doesn't bother me, but many students just simply won't read.I haven't used this with any students so I can't say for sure whether it is better at getting the concepts across, but as soon as the bookstore sells out of our current lab manuals I may try it. If so I'll update my review at that time.
Came just as described. Going to resell after I'm done using it.
Exactly the workbook I needed for the class.
Good condition book
Got a brand new book and still saved money. Was even better because my school didn't have anymore of the copies in stock and this one was the exact one I needed. It also arrived very quickly and is three holed punched so I can put it in my binder.
