Comments from previous students

"I actually know how I learn through the SCALE-UP physics…through the way that it is set up, through the way they taught us by solving problems. It helped me to learn not so much to get an answer but to actually understand concepts. I also apply that to the rest of my classes. I think from now on, I will do a lot better in my classes just by taking this class–through all the teaching we learned how to solve problems and think through problems."

"I have studied for a test with some of the traditional 205 students and like they always point to the book for everything, like looking for a formula for everything. [The professor] makes sure that we understand the concept, we can almost derive the formula for whatever we need. And we seem to understand more of the aspects of physics. I definitely feel that, compared to traditional [lecture], we have a more in depth understanding and knowledge of what is going on."
