Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

Among the major fields in classical physics, this course will lecture on vibration in mechanics, optics, and thermodynamics. It will also involve mechanical measurement experiments.

Style:

Regular classes will be taught in a lecture style, and there will also be exercises and quizzes. In addition, there will be two classes to conduct experiments.

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.
The schedule of the experiment may be changed depending on the usage of the laboratory, etc.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
