There has been a conversation on Twitter about the unary increment operator (++) and related (+=, –, etc.). I tend to gloss over these when teaching beginners. Especially those in a first programming course. A friend of mine disagrees. It started with: Would you ever write, or teach a beginner, a = a + 1 if your language supports a += 1 If so, why? Now obviously professional programming and beginner programming are not exactly apples and apples but we should probably be teaching best practices.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Toward the end of the impulse-momentum unit, after my class has played conceptually and experimentally with the impulse-momentum theorem, I ask the following on a daily quiz: 1. True or false: Two identical-mass object that fall from the same height must experience the same force during the collision with the ground. 2. True or false: Two identical-mass objects that each collide with the ground for the same amount of time must experience the same force in the collision.

When the pandemic hit and schools closed down, I was knocked on my backside pretty hard in many ways. One thing I found I needed to do—and quickly—was to convert my student curriculum documents into Google Docs format so that I could deploy them in Google Classroom. I had virtually no experience in Google Docs or Google Classroom. And I was facing four preps: Physics, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, and Conceptual Physics.

With respect to AP Physics 1 in particular, I was asked: Do you expect AP students to use dimensional analysis (factor-label method) when converting units? Do they come to you with that skill? I am considering the importance of the factor/label method to chemistry and its importance as a prerequisite skill to AP physics. Students pick up converting units easier using ratios.
