College Physics Summary

College Physics by Michael Tammaro

Tammaro's College Physics, First Edition will convert more students from passive to active learners through a unique presentation of material built from the ground up in a digital environment. When students become "active" learners, they study "smarter" by spending time on content that will help them improve their understanding of key concepts (NOT skipping straight to the problems to find out what they don't know). College Physics, First Edition utilizes an assignable, module structure with frequent assessment check points at various difficulty levels to ensure maximum points of student engagement and retention.
