Hi !

I'm in the process of putting together a proposal to NSF that would let me
develop three multiple choice tests for intro physics.  The plans call for
tests of electricity, optics, plus one more topic to be suggested by folks
in the field.  Well, I'd like to hear what other areas you think might
benefit from having tests like Dave Hestenes' Force Concept Inventory and
my Test of Understanding Graphs in Kinematics.

I had great cooperation from a lot of folks via e-mail when I was
putting together the graphing test and I really appreciate the help. (If
you were part of that project and haven't gotten a copy of the article
about the test, just let me know.  For that matter, anyone else who is
interested is welcome to have one too!)  If you'd like to give the tests
developed during this project to your students, send me a note and I'll put
you on a list--the more the merrier.  (Be aware that the wheels of
government turn slowly.  The tests wouldn't be ready for evaluation for at
least a year!)

Thanks!

Bob
