We don't often blow our own trumpets but with all the competition out there with claims to "ace the exam" and "improve your grade by two points", I thought a bit of trumpet blowing might be appropriate. We would never claim that if you subscribe to this site your students will get higher grades, that's entirely up to them. What we do claim is that you will have access to a whole load of resources that have been prepared with a great deal of thought.

I'll take my recent additions as an example. I always write material first and foremost for my own students. I have a wide range of students, some have not done any physics before and others seem to have done more than me so I need to make simple explanations and pose challenging questions. The past couple of days I have been writing multiple choice questions to go with the imaging option. Very few students choose that option but if they do they will need to be able to understand how to draw ray diagrams, not  easy to test using multiple choice questions. So, there's a challenge. I could have churned out a whole load of 1/u + 1/v = 1/f questions in no time at all but this would be repetitive and boring and I don't want my students to be bored. It also would avoid the essential skill of ray diagram drawing so I had an idea, how about using GeoGebra. Here is one of the more difficult examples.

They take quite a long time to produce but I think it's worth it. I just hope some of my students (or maybe some of yours) choose this option. The full quiz is here.
