This talk provides an introduction to the mission, features, and types of articles in the American Journal of Physics with a goal of helping potential authors understand how to prepare a submission.

Publishing in the American Journal of Physics

We all know what student behaviors lead to success in the long run: work steadily, review homework solutions and in-class problems, organize equations and concepts, work practice problems.&nbsp; The challenge is that some of our students enter with particularly weak backgrounds in science and mathematics. &nbsp;If&nbsp;these strategies don't work quickly enough to allow students to succeed in their introductory course, they drop out and switch majors.&nbsp; The solution: give students an alternate path, a “grade guarantee.”&nbsp; Students who complete all these successful behaviors are guaranteed a grade of C on each test, and therefore have a clear path to success in the course, and exit the course well prepared for the next course. &nbsp;This talk will describe how this grade guarantee can be put into effect without creating an undue burden on students or faculty.

C2.8 Promoting Retention and Making Physics More Accessible

AAPT® is a strong professional physics science society dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in physical science education.

Winter and Summer National Meetings:
These National Meetings, held each winter and summer, are opportunities for members, colleagues, and future physicists from around the world to:

- participate in physics workshops
- meet and greet other physics educators
- form networks nationally and locally
- engage exhibitors and learn about the latest physics resources
- discuss innovations in teaching methods
- share the results of research about teaching and learning.

If you're not able to log in, you're most likely using **incorrect login credentials**. Double-check that you are using the same email and password that you used to register for the conference, submit your abstract or access your AAPT membership. There may also be **an issue with your AAPT meeting registration**. Please email aapt2021@underline.io and programs@aapt.org and we will work quickly to resolve this issue.
