The objective of this course is for midshipmen to learn the concepts, laws and definitions of physics and methods of problem solving . You should invest one hour of study for each 10 points credit or 100 hours for the 1000 points below. Concept quizzes contribute to your daily grade as does participation. Submit weekly homework and lab reports within one week of being assigned. Bring calculator, paper, and pen to Wednesday quizzes and the exams, which are on Concepts, problems assigned and others and Labs.

Reports for every lab are submitted by each midshipman one week after scheduled, one full report being in the format of a journal article written by each midshipman.

Complete one analysis with your calculator before you finish taking data to see if you are on the right track.
