Course Methods and Techniques
|
The course will be accomplished through lecture, and recitation. In the lecture, the basic concepts of modern physics and the discussion of selected topics will be provided. Students will be encouraged to participate the lecture and discuss problems and concepts. During the recitation, students will work on challenging problems that are designed to build conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Additionally, students will be expected to produce both in-class quizzes and homework assignments if available. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
