| Abstract | Introduction Several innovations, including the use of a "Personal Response System" (PRS), and the use of student teaching assistants, were integrated into Physics 114: Physics of Sound, a course presented to non-science students, in recent years. Below I give details of these changes and some student reactions to them. The course satisfies a University of Massachusetts General Education requirement and is an introduction to acoustics, with special emphasis on the speech and hearing mechanisms. It is required of sophomore majors in Communication Disorders (ComDis), but open to students in all majors. About 15% of the students are majors in other departments. |
