 Great!, 2007-08-26
PhysicsTutor Excalibur is a great way to develop and test knowledge of basic concepts in physics, throughout high school and even in college. As a high school sophomore, I swore by ChemTutor Excalibur to help me prepare for chapter tests, midterms, and finals. Because of that experience, I thought of PhysicsTutor as a freshman at Yale taking advanced introductory physics courses. I knew I needed something to help me with the more basic concepts behind the complicated homework and exam questions I was struggling to answer.
While the things I learned through PhysicsTutor Excalibur did not relate as closely to the material I was being tested on as it did in my chemistry class as a high school student, PhysicsTutor still provided me with the information I needed to fully grasp many basic concepts. Although some of the answers it gave seemed very specific to the question I was being asked, in many cases I could backtrack to figure out which general equation I should have been using, and could do whatever mathematical approach I needed to do (integration, etc.) to match their solution. The screen display did not bother me at all--what does a fancy background have to do with learning physics? I think PhysicsTutor Excalibur is a great learning tool when partnered with a textbook. Practicing problems, which is what PhysicsTutor has you do, is the best way to fully master physics.
I plan to keep utilizing PhysicsTutor Excalibur as I continue in my college career as a Physics and Astronomy major at Yale.
