Sometimes I share a message to this group with some people off-group.
Here's an interesting response I got from one of those off-group folks:

...I was interested in comparing your thoughts to memories of
my own days as a student of physics. I strongly remember the difficulty
I had with courses where the math was not developed sufficiently along with
the concepts.
I also feel that getting the concepts right, from the start, is important.
"Common sense" conceptualizing in physics classes hurts the students later.
It's still a maxim with many grad students that you don't really understand
your undergraduate physics courses until you get close to finishing your
masters' work.
