Course Objectives Students will be able to:

  1. Recognize the basic concepts concerning kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, gravitation, oscillations, wave behavior and thermodynamics, and use mathematical expressions including calculus to represent physical situations involving these subjects.
  2. Investigate and delineate the relationship between the theoretical principles of physics and their practical applications, and explain how this relationship affects real world problem solving.
  3. Investigate, interpret and analyze the fundamental principles of physics based on reading assignments and in-class discussions.
  4. Calculate solutions to physics problems using the fundamental principles of physics and symbolic logic skills. During the lab students will:
  5. Design experiments using the scientific method.
  6. Demonstrate laboratory technique by collecting data using both traditional and computer data acquisition methods, using computers to interpret and analyze numerical data and to generate a visual representation of the data.
  7. Evaluate the experimental results using techniques presented in class.

Method of Evaluation A grading system will be established by the instructor and implemented uniformly. Grades will be based on demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter determined by multiple measurements for evaluation, one of which must be essay exams, skills demonstration or, where appropriate, the symbol system.

  1. Quizzes, exams that measure the student’s ability to recognize physical situations and the concepts associated with them, and use mathematical expressions to formulate solutions while under a time pressure.
  2. Homework that measures the student’s ability to use the fundamental principles of physics and symbolic logic skills to calculate solutions to physics problems.
  3. Lab technique that demonstrates the student’s ability to design an experiment, set up the equipment, make the appropriate measurements, and maintain a safe work environment.
  4. Lab reports that demonstrate the student’s ability to use the English language; record, interpret and analyze data; draw conclusions from the results.
  5. Physics research paper(s) in which students are required to analyze, interpret and draw conclusions from scientific sources.
  6. Participation based on in-class responses to questions, contribution to discussions, and attendance.
