Without Connect With Connect “I have found that as students become more secure in their understanding of the topics covered, they have become more vocal in class, giving their input about the material. I believe this is a direct result of using Connect Physics, which gives them more homework to build their practice time and their understanding of the material.” Professor Robert Hagood, Washtenaw Community College “I have found that as students become more secure in their understanding of the topics covered, they have become more vocal in class, giving their input about the material.

Students who use and complete their assignments in Connect Physics fare better on tests than the students who do not.” Professor Robert Hagood, Washtenaw Community College “These numbers are telling.

Students who completed 100% of the homework averaged 83% on their test scores while those who completed 60% of the homework averaged only 68% on their test scores.

Background:  A two-year public community college in Ann Arbor, Michigan  Course: 4 credit traditional (3 hours lecture and 1 hour lab)  Course grade: 4 exams 67% Connect Physics homework 16.5% Lab participation and assignments 16.5%  Implementation: Homework assignments required weekly consisting of 15 questions for each chapter Professor Robert Hagood Washtenaw Community College Professor Robert Hagood Washtenaw Community College “With Connect Physics, I am able to easily cover all aspects of the course objectives, whereas before I spent more time covering homework in class and struggled to cover all topics in the course objectives. I really enjoy the extra time I have to work on other aspects of the course, from new labs to curriculum for the course.” “With Connect Physics, I am able to easily cover all aspects of the course objectives, whereas before I spent more time covering homework in class and struggled to cover all topics in the course objectives.
