2010: College Physics I Instructor: Dr. Lizhi
Ouyang (http://gpt.tsuniv.edu/louyang/) Course Description & Pre-requisites: This is
a first course in a non-calculus-based physics sequence. Topics included
mechanics and fluid mechanics. Pre-requisite: Math 1720. Purpose: It satisfies 3 of the 8 hours
of physics required by the American Medical Association for admission to
medical school or the allied health program. Goals and Objectives:
Goal is to provide a basic knowledge of natural laws and their mathematical
basis for further study in the natural or health sciences. Learning Objective: Students will be able to apply the principles
of physics in medical or biological contexts. Course Audience: This course is primarily for students majoring in biology,
chemistry, and allied health. Attendance:
Attendance is required by the University & more than four days of absence
will give you a mandatory grade F. Late comers of more than 5 minutes will
not be allowed to enter the class. Side talk and any kind of disruption of
class are prohibited. Cheating will give you a mandatory F grade in
the course and disciplinary action may also be taken. I trust my students, so
start studying from the very first day. Learning Resources: Textbook:
(OpenStax free textbook) Paul Peter Urone, Roger
Hinrichs - College Physics; Science-math tutorials; Office
Hours of Faculty members, Library Opportunities, etc. METHOD of INSTRUCTION: Lecture/discussion/demonstration
(as applicable). Learning Competencies:
Operational definitions and units of the physical quantities are expected to be
committed to memory. Students will be expected to handle the analysis and
solution of problems in electricity, magnetism, circuits, optics, and atomic
structure as spelled out in the handout of competencies. Also,
students will be responsible for all the materials as specified in the chapters
(see TEXT and COVERAGE). Evaluation of Learning Competencies:
Scores in quizzes, tests, home works, and web-assignments (if administered)
will be the basis for evaluation. Score better than 70% will constitute
grasping the material which is deemed as minimum mastery. Grade Determination:
HW (25%), TEST 1 (15%), TEST 2 (15%), TEST 3 (15%) and Final Common Dept. Exam
(30%). Make-up hourly is allowed only for extreme emergency situation.
Tests will be returned in a timely manner.
Student should keep tests as a record of the student grades in case of
disagreement of course grade leading to a grade appeal. In case of absence from class when tests are
returned students are responsible to contact the instructor of the course
