Work in progress — Outsourcing the lecturing in an Engineering Physics class

The struggle to get students to attempt- and complete-assigned homework problems may well be eternal. Many professors have tried different ways to encourage students to get the vital practice that homework offers. This paper details the experience of making group work on the homework the focus of class time, and having the lecturing done by using the "Physics I: Classical Mechanics" lectures available through MIT's OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiative. Students were expected to watch the videos on their own time-making this their "homework" while we would discuss and complete most of the assigned problems in class. Discussed are the benefits and drawbacks of doing this, including student comments.
