Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, the first steps in electromagnetism will be taught, including the necessary mathematical techniques (vector calculation and calculus). This is a study of electricity and magnetism as natural phenomena, and it also leads to the study of electrical and electronic engineering, which will be covered in later subjects.
Style:
Classes will be taught in a lecture style, and there will also be exercises and quizzes.
Notice:
Instead of learning each knowledge (the result of applying the law to a particular situation, how to solve the problem) by memorizing it individually, students should understand the laws that govern them (including being able to apply them to specific situations). Also, students should be aware of the relationships between the various laws, and try to understand concepts in physics systematically.
Students can earn extra points by submitting voluntary assignments, and lose their points depending on their attitude, etc. in the class.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
