Assessment

College Physics for AP ^® Courses offers a wealth of assessment options, including the following end-of-module problems:

• Integrated Concept Problems challenge students to apply both conceptual knowledge and skills to solve a problem.
• Unreasonable Results encourage students to solve a problem and then evaluate why the premise or answer to the problem are unrealistic.
• Construct Your Own Problem requires students to construct how to solve a particular problem, justify their starting assumptions, show their steps to find the solution to the problem, and finally discuss the meaning of the result.
• Test Prep for AP ^® Courses includes assessment items with the format and rigor found in the AP ^® exam to help prepare students for the exam.
