PHY433: FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS:MECHANICS AND HEAT
|
| Course Code |
PHY433 |
| Course Description |
This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in the areas of mechanics, properties of matter, wave vibrations and thermodynamics. Students will define concepts, state and explain laws and theories, make predictions as to the possible outcome of an event, perform investigations via laboratory exercises and verbally and in writing, discuss the results and relationships with peers and facilitators. The designed lecture session is used to discuss results of investigations leading to its relation to the existing laws, principles or theories. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lecturers and active learning (self and peer discussion). The outcomes shall be accessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, concepts maps, informal interviews and classroom engagement. |
