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 70 minutes into the 97-minute class session as Mazur checks in with a small group about the problems they have been solving together.
