preventstudents from finding out answers from those who took the exam earlier. But, if sectionsare taught back to back, the danger is minimized. If out-of-class common exams arescheduled, it is eliminated. Then a single exam can be used, which will save severalhours in creating the exam, and save grading time as well, due to lower startup overhead.Reason #4: Less web site/LMS overhead. Teaching one class means only one course website, and only one course to set up in a learning management system. The sameassignments, grade weights and policies apply to all sections.Reason #5: Fewer meetings of course staff. In most courses, it’s necessary to meet withTA(s) once a week, and this meeting may last an hour. In multi-section courses, a singlemeeting

thestudents build the circuit from the example problem(s) and measure to verify the theory iscorrect. In-class experiments included the following:1. Measure component values – students measure the resistances of all their resistors to verify that they have all the resistors they are supposed to in their packs, and also measure the voltage of their batteries to make sure they are still good. Students seemed surprised to learn that a brand-new 9V battery typically had a voltage of 9.5-9.6 V rather than 9.0 V.2. Ohm’s law – Students connect a 1k resistor in series with the 9V battery and measure voltage across the resistor. Then they measure the current through the resistor, and knowing the value of the resistor, use Ohm’s law to verify that
