Clip Context:

• “AP50: Physics as a Foundation for Science and Engineering,” an undergraduate course at Harvard College with 60 students enrolled.
• This course is a yearlong, team- and project-based introduction to physics. In the course, Mazur assigns students to small groups and challenges them to solve real-life problems using physics concepts.
• This clip comes about 30 minutes into the 97-minute class session as Mazur addresses three “pre-class annotations” that students have submitted.
