University Physics II - Restricted Coverage

The Restricted Coverage implementation of class was presented in this form for four semesters. The course excludes from coverage many topics that are presented in traditional introductory text, but often not actually covered by real classes. The coverage was restricted so that all difficult concepts could be covered in the twice-a-week lecture and receive support in lab. The class generated high instructor evaluations, a very respectable Hake Gain on the CSEM of 42%, happy students and instructors, and a rapidly growing undergraduate population.
