• Conceptual understanding
• Simulations
• Challenging
• Limited direct effect on problem-solving approaches


"These problems help me learn physics more because of the interactive nature of the problems; It was more hands on & also the challenge of these problems was greater; also if the student grasps the concepts of these “hard” problems the minor concepts of PY208 are easy."
