| Previously known as Physics 101. This is mostly a rehash of highschool physics and covers Newtonian Mechanics, Thermodynamics and some Quantum (if I remember correctly). Has several compulsory labs, which are pretty much all the attendance that is required if you know your physics pretty well. These labs consist of 2 marks, 1 for searching google for a simple answer prior to the lab (ie, doing prelab), and another for walking in the door and making some minor attempt at actually doing the lab (attendance). | Previously known as Physics 101. This is mostly a rehash of highschool physics and covers Optics, Newtonian Mechanics, Thermodynamics and some Quantum (if I remember correctly). It is the opinion of several students that the lectures (at least for Optics) are insufficient to understand the topic or answer the questions; reference to the textbook will be necessary. The textbook is Fundamentals of Physics, by Halliday, Resnick and Walker. The unit has several compulsory labs. These labs consist of 4 marks. The marks are allocated for attempt/success in completing the lab. 1 is lost if you can't be bothered to do the prelab - which can usually be done from trivial textbook reading or googling for a simple answer. |
