Develop physical models that will support your learning in PHYS 212. This will be evaluated by the reports that you will submit for each exercise. Develop analysis and experimental skills. Individual evaluation as we go along, and the independent projects at the end. Develop communication skills in writing and presenting.
Evaluation is two fold.
You will prepare written reports of varying detail during the course leading up to the final projects. You will be expected to answer questions verbally about your work during the semester and at the end give a presentation of the results of your projects to the class. Grading In the early part of the semester I will grade less critically gradually increasing the level of expectation as the semester continues. As I said earlier, this is a learning process, I expect improvement, not perfection from the first week. The exercises will be done in lab by making measurements with equipment or computers, you will record what you do in your notebook.
