a refinement of strategiesthat experienced physics teachers have been teaching for decades and because it is optimized forthe types of problems traditionally found in physics textbooks. The prescriptions aim to steerstudents away from common novice approaches such as identifying the unknown and searchingfor an equation that contains it, or pattern matching based on superficial aspects of the physicalscenario.12, 15 Although details differ, the prescriptions generally consist of steps like these: 1. Using diagrams as needed, visualize and make sense of the physical situation conceptually/qualitatively. 2. Explicitly identity the relevant physics principles. 3. Using the insights from (1) and (2), write equation(s) that can be

either individually or in groups. When appropriate, the TAwould attempt to form study groups for students to work together. When the students were stumped,they could ask questions and receive help from the staff.The course material was divided into seventeen units. Each unit summarized the key concepts,background math and methods required to solve the problems, and about ten to fifteen physicsproblems to solve. Often reading assignments were also included on these units in addition to beingposted on the course website.Students were free to work through the unit(s) at their own pace and solve as many problems as theyfelt necessary. There was no requirement of completing these for a grade like the LRE. When astudent felt prepared to demonstrate
