Using Workbooks in Video Lectures

Derek Owens introduces the physical science course, explaining how to use the accompanying videos and workbook. The workbook serves as a tool for note-taking and problem-solving, with blank spaces for students to fill in during lectures. Videos replicate live classes, allowing students to learn at their own pace. The workbook aids in focusing on explanations rather than transcribing every word.
