每年秋天，数十万学生在全美注册参加以微积分为基础的“工程”物理课程。非正式的统计数据告诉我们，他们中的一半以上将无法完成入门课程的顺序。这些学生抱怨物理又难又无聊。对传统入门物理和化学课程最有说服力的学生批评来自人文学科的大学毕业生，希拉·托拜厄斯聘请他们把入门科学作为学分。这些学生将入门课程描绘成一幅毁灭性的图画：枯燥、耗时、狭隘地专注于解决课本问题的程序、缺乏同伴合作、缺乏学生在课堂上的参与、塞满了太多的材料，并且偏离了概念理解。
Every fall several hundred thousand students enroll in calculus‐based “engineering” physics courses throughout the United States. Informal statistics tell us that over half of them will fail to complete the sequence of introductory courses. These students complain that physics is hard and boring. The most compelling student critique of traditional introductory physics and chemistry courses comes from college graduates in the humanities who were engaged by Sheila Tobias to take introductory science for credit. These students paint a devastating portrait of introductory courses as uninteresting, time consuming, narrowly fixated on the procedures of textbook problem solving, devoid of peer cooperation, lacking in student involvement during lectures, crammed with too much material, and biased away from conceptual understanding.
