Homework & Projects

Students will be advised to read some parts of the course textbook and to solve problems presented in the course textbook, to aid their efforts to follow the development of the course content and to prepare for the examinations. In addition, they will present a project about “Physics in Maritime” at the end of the semester.

Laboratory Work

Students will perform related experiments in a parallel lab. course (PHYS 111 L).

Computer Use

Students will use computers to develop and prepare their projects.

Other Activities

Weekly quizzes will be given in parallel with the lecture subjects.
