  Abstract: Introductory calculus and non-calculus physics classes are combined into a single section with an additional calculus discussion section afterwards. Others have found a correlation between student beliefs about learning physics and conceptual learning. We investigate this correlation within our mostly life-sciences population and explore the effect of the calculus discussion section on these beliefs and learning.
