        I teach an AP Physics/Calculus course at a high school in Tucson.
All of the AP teachers are going to start requiring that students
registered for our courses complete assignments during the summer prior
to the course. This is in an attempt to "level the playing field" so that
all students start with a comon knowledge base and to discourage students
from signing up for AP courses merely for the factored grade and not
because they are interested in the subject. (Factored grades is a whole
'nother can of worms...)
        I am trying to devise meaningful assignments for both Physics and
Calculus. I hope to go beyond drill-and-kill review of concepts in
first-year physics or trigonometry and advanced algebra. Does anyone out
there have experience with these type of assignments or have any ideas?
