Description
I will be presenting my recent work in redesigning Introductory physics 1 and 2 for pre-health majors at the University of Virginia by integrating biological and medical applications of the physics concepts covered in a manner that students perceive as relevant and engaging. We aim to bridge the gap between physics and biology, addressing the common issue of waning interest in learning the material, and fostering a greater sense of belonging to the course. Specific changes to the course, assessment methods and initial outcomes of the project will be discussed in my presentation.
