PHY 101 Basic Physics
Focuses on the basic understanding of the laws of physics. Emphasizes critical thinking skills allowing the student to apply the laws to a wide variety of fields. Applications are illustrated by demonstrations and simple hands-on exercises involving careful observation, measurement, analysis, and interpretation of phenomena, allowing the student to draw conclusions based on the laws of physics. In addition, the student learns problem solving techniques in which the basic laws are applied in simple, logical or mathematical ways. A variety of media such as strobe photography, diagrams, graphs and films are used to reinforce understanding of the basic laws and their applications.
