It is still open to anyone for elective credit. PHY 205 is offered in the Spring. The topics of study include body mechanics, the circulatory system, energy management, sound and hearing, nerve conduction, the eye, and the effects of radiation. There are two required written reports which include oral presentations. The classroom is a combination of lecture, demonstration, and student participation.
Many demonstrations use computer software, data probes and large screen projection.
Included in the student participation will be an EKG of one of the students. Students who have not had math or are unsure of their math ability should speak with Dr. Dayton. A math review course, PHY 081, is available to be better prepared and may be required. There is likely to be a change in textbook for this course. A promising new text has been ordered for evaluation and if adopted will be very beneficial.
