Evolution of teaching at an undergraduate college

Abstract

At Bridgewater State University, I have been making significant changes specifically to two courses. I along with another professor have changed our introductory physics course from a standard lecture/lab to a studio-style course using a NSF STEP grant. The Energy and Society course, one of the popular science core requirements, was a face to face course for many years. I moved it to an 80/20 web course, then to 100\% on-line and now I am flying book free 100\% on-line. I will talk about the development of the two courses and along the way intermingle the talk with observations about being a professor at a primarily undergraduate university.
