| INTR AP PHY I | |||
| CLASS CODE: | PH 105 | CREDITS: 4 | |
| COLLEGE: | PHYSICAL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING | ||
| DEPARTMENT: | PHYSICS | ||
| GENERAL EDUCATION: | This course fulfills a General Education - Physical Science requirement. | ||
| DESCRIPTION: | This course is the first semester of the algebra and trigonometry based Applied Physics sequence. While this course satisfies the physics requirement for most medical schools, it does not specifically address preparation for the MCAT exam. This course includes a three-hour lab. | ||
| TAUGHT: | Fall, Winter, Spring | ||
| CONTENT AND TOPICS: | A general course particularly designed for pre-medical students, but also appropriate for architecture, biology, and GE students. It is designed to address the concepts and topics needed to prepare students for the MCAT and entrance into professional schools. The style of MCAT physics questions is addressed directly. This course includes a three hour lab. | ||
| GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: | 1.Know the vocabulary used to describe the concepts of physics. 2.Converse intellectually with others on these scientific topics and understand relevant articles from newspapers and magazines. 3.Describe the methodology of science and the relationship between observation and theory. 4.Show how physics, its methods, axioms and philosophy have changed over the years. 5.Apply concepts of physics to other disciplines such as biology, architecture, construction, and manufacturing. 6.Analyze physical problems and develop correct solutions to these problems through application of natural law. 7.Express knowledge and ideas through written language. 8.Work effectively with others who have a wide range of intellectual backgrounds. 9.Read and understand books and other literature that relate to course topics. 10. Develop written laboratory skills. 11. Work effectively as part of a team. 12. Recognize sources of error in experiments and develop ways to address them. |
