Conceptual Physics: Practicing Physics

Rating:
Summary: Useless without the solutions.
Review: The idea of a workbook to be used in addition to the textbook seemed like a great idea. Too bad it was so poorly implemented. There are no solutions to any of the problems. To my way of thinking, not to provide positive feedback to the student makes the thing useless. If your instructor does not use the workbook or review it in class DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!

Summary: What about studying?
Review: Why people just wait for solutions? What about thinking? Discussing with others? with your instructor? It is called "Practicing Physics". Not "Reading solutions to problems". Even though your instructor does not use the book, you can discuss the questions. I am sure that they will be happy when s/he sees that you are trying to solve a physics problem, you are PRACTICING... For teachers; there are lots of sources in the book. You can use them to enrich your instructions.
