Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
We will learn about mechanics using calculus.
Style:
Classes will be taught in a lecture style, and there will also be practice and quizzes.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review and completing assignment reports. Students must pre-study, review, and solve exercise questions for each class.
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). To do it, if necessary, review the content learned during the previous years. Also, students should be aware of the relationships between the various laws and try to understand concepts in physics systematically.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
