Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

The law of gravity is the basis of satellite navigation system that is widely used in our lives.
Therefore they are lectured on the law of gravity including the history of its discovery
and technical terms on radio navigation.

Style:

Lecture and practice by a teacher, and the lecture is improved due to questionnaires on the lecture which are answered by students. There is a possibility that the course plan is changed due to students' understanding level.
Students must perform the learning related to the lecture before and after the lecture.

Notice:

It is evaluated by exams(70%) and reports(30%).
The recognition of credit requires a rating of 60 points or more. Students can take a makeup exam in need aid up to maximum of 60 points.
30 hours of self-study are required in this lecture.
