COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This first course in the physics curriculum introduces classical mechanics. Historically, a
set of core concepts — space, time, mass, force, momentum, torque, and angular momentum —
were introduced in classical mechanics in order to solve the most famous physics problem, the
motion of the planets.
The principles of mechanics successfully described many other phenomena encountered
in the world. Conservation laws involving energy, momentum and angular momentum provided a
second parallel approach to solving many of the same problems. In this course, we will
investigate both approaches: Force and conservation laws.

LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO):

Attributes of Ideal On completion of the course, the student is

Graduate (AIG) expected to be able to do the following:
LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO)
Highly competent LO1 Demonstrate a rigorous understanding of the core
theories and principles of physics, which include mechanics,
electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum
mechanics.

LO2 to provide students with the knowledge, understanding

required to apply critical reasoning skills to model and solve
physics related problems.

Ethical professional LO3 Communicate scientific information in oral, written,

and graphical formats.
Service-oriented LO4 Demonstrate proficiency in the collection, analysis and
interpretation of data.

Contribute to country’s LO5 Students will show that they have learned laboratory
sustainable growth and skills, enabling them to take measurements in a physics
development laboratory and analyze the measurements to draw valid
conclusions.

FINAL COURSE OUTPUT:

Our goal is to develop a conceptual understanding of the core concepts, a familiarity with
the experimental verification of our theoretical laws, and an ability to apply the theoretical
framework to describe and predict the motions of bodies.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS:

The course is broken into thirteen weeks, as listed below. Each week contains 3-4
lessons on distinct topics. Each lesson consists of a series of discussion explaining the topic,
which are meant to be given in sequence.

 CLASS POLICIES:
1. Familiarity with the assigned readings is a must. It is necessary that each student has copies
of the reading materials. Class participation is highly encouraged. A demonstration of
confidence in expressing one’s knowledge is expected especially during oral presentation and
recitation. You must then come to class prepared.
2. Announced and unannounced tests or quizzes are given either prior to or after the class
discussion. You are expected to always observe academic honesty and integrity by not
resorting to cheating.
3. Attendance is checked regularly. Hence, you are expected to attend classes regularly and
promptly.
4. Always bring the assigned reading(s) for the day. It is expected that these reading materials
have been read beforehand.
5. No make-up quiz is given to a student who misses it except in unexpected instances beyond
one’s control. You must then provide an acceptable reason for your absence through a
supporting documentation.
6. Assignments and projects should be submitted on time. If you fail to meet the submission
deadline, you will be given a 10-point deduction for each day the work is late after the relevant
deadline.
7. Written and encoded requirements must always include the student’s name (surname should
be written before the first name and middle initial; e.g., Dela Cruz, Juan C.), section, and date.
8. Using electronic gadgets should be avoided during class hours. Cell phones must be turned
off or programmed to silent mode. The use of cell phones is only allowed outside of the room
if there is an emergency call or text message.
9. Proper acknowledgment of the sources used in your assignments, exercises, reports, and
projects should be done to avoid plagiarism. You must be familiar with the most common
citation formats like APA (preferred), MLA, and Turabian.
10. You are expected to strictly observe and follow the policies stated in the Student Handbook,
particularly those concerning conduct and discipline.
