Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Following Science IIIA (second semester), this course will lecture on mechanics.
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.
The schedule of the midterm exam may be changed.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing evaluation.
