Does anyone have experience teaching AP physics c mechanics and e&m in one year? I’m not quite sure how to pace the two courses into one year. Any insight would be appreciated! 😁

@carrillophysics @gnuphysics @gregcjacobs Thanks Geoff!

Here is a link to the document with my approach: https://t.co/WUSgt1u4Yy

All students have a prior physics course; most have completed calculus.

First 1/3: Alg E/M
Second 1/3: Calc Mech
Final 1/3: Calc E/M

If you have questions, DM me!

All the best!
