PER-based materials
The collections below are missing sensitive materials (largely exams and solutions). Please see "CU Materials (password protected for faculty)" further down this page if you are physics faculty and want access to these additional materials)
For more information, visit our CU Science Education Initiative page: https://www.colorado.edu/sei/departments/physics
Modern Physics (sophomore level)
Classical Mechanics/Math Methods 1 (sophomore level)
Quantum Mechanics 1 (junior level) (This is an older collection, following a wave-functions first approach like Griffiths' text)
For more updated QM materials following a spins-first approach, please visit our collections at Physport:

or, for quantum-information related topics, https://www.physport.org/curricula/ACEQIS/
Electricity and Magnetism 1 (junior level, electrostatics)
Electricity and Magnetism 2 (junior level, electrodynamics)
Teaching and Learning Physics (200 Meg, zipped folder containing many course materials) Upper division/graduate course. Materials developed by Noah Finkelstein, with some supplements from Steven Pollock. The folder contains many references and materials from other authors.

Non PER-based materials
Classical Mechanics 1 with Math Methods (1.6 GB) Materials updated by S. Pollock, E. Neil. Concept tests, lecture notes, homeworks, and a comprehensive set of in-class 10-20 minute paper Tutorials.
Classical Mechanics 2 (134 MB) This is a set of materials developed by Prof. Ethan Neil. (Not associated with a PER project, but a comprehensive followup to the Class Mech 1 materials found above) Secure materials (including exams and solutions) are available through our "secure" page.
