Evaluating Concept Learning: The Force Concept Inventory (FCI)*
			n 30 item multiple-choice probe of student's understanding of basic concepts in mechanics. n The choice of topics is based on careful thought about the fundamental issues and concepts in Newtonian dynamics. n The questions are framed in (semi-)real life contexts in common speech rather than physics jargon. n The distractors (wrong answers) are malicious. They are based on research that probes the students' most common responses.
