"Dear Students and Instructors: Welcome to college physics! To the students: We know there is a negative stigma associated with physics, and you yourself may harbor some trepidation as you begin this course. But fear not! We are here to help. Whether you are worried about your math proficiency, understanding the concepts, or developing your problem-solving skills, the resources available to you are designed to address all of these areas and more. When we were students and had to take introductory physics, we had a printed textbook, a pencil, and some paper. That was it! Can you learn physics this way? You bet! We did! But research has shown that learning styles vary greatly among students. Maybe some of you have a more visual preference, or auditory preference, or some other preferred learning modality. In any case, the resources available to you in this course will satisfy all of these preferences and improve your chance of success. Take a moment to explore below what the textbook and online course have to offer. We suspect that, as you continue to improve throughout the course, some of that initial trepidation will be replaced with some excitement. To start, 12e will continue to offer a new learning medium unique to this book in the form of a comprehensive set of lecture videos - one for every section (259 in all). These animated lectures (created and narrated by the authors) are 2 - 10 minutes in length, and explain the basic concepts and learning objectives of each section. They are assignable within WileyPLUS and can be paired with follow-up questions that are gradable. In addition to supplementing traditional lecturing, the videos can be used in a variety of ways, including, flipping the classroom, lectures for online courses, and reviewing for exams"-- Provided by publisher.
