difficult to simulate boundary conditions. Nevertheless, the general conceptsurvived and was improved during the early to mid 1900’s. One improvement that wasmade to this method during the mid 1900’s was to replace the metal sheet with a sheet ofconductive paper with a lower conductivity2. This method is still in use today. In fact,several educational companies, including Pasco3 sell equipment to run this kind ofexperiment. By using either metal or more recently paper, two-dimensional potentialfields can be plotted. Advantages of using conductive paper include lower conductivitythan metal and readily available supplies of the paper. A disadvantage is that theconductivity of the paper is often inconsistent causing errors in the field.Another device

Student learning, however, tends to be enhanced by including a laboratory. A set oflaboratory experiments that are closely tied to the introductory course is developed. Necessarymodifications to the lecture components are discussed. Surveys have shown that the studentshave found the laboratory useful in their understanding of the course

Students can see their performance on review questions interactively and have theoption to repeat them, and receive on-line feedback on their score. Similarly, theirperformance on a quiz is evaluated on-line and feedback is provided to them. In addition,their score on each quiz as well as the time they spent taking the quiz are sent back to theinstructor and stored in a permanent file. The courseware provides an overall assessment, ingraphical format, of the average performance of all students who took a quiz, as well as eachindividual student’s performance.
