- DACC PHYS107 Lab Manual.
Course Description: PHYS 107 is the second course in a three semester introductory physics sequence for the engineering and science student. The typical student enrolling in this course will later transfer to a four-year college or university to continue their studies toward a baccalaureate degree.
The main emphasis of the course is to learn to analyze problems applying the proper equations and mathematical procedures to obtain a suitable solution for thermodynamical and electromagnetical situations. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to solve any standard problem from a typical college physics text related two these topics.
The student is expected to
understand
the derivations of the equations and the logic of the procedures used
and
be able to answer discussion questions and exam questions regarding
them.
Each student is required to participate in a weekly laboratory exercise
related to the lecture topic being covered, and is graded according to
a written report, experimental technique, quality of results, and
participation.
The classroom’s main activity is lecture interspersed with questions
and
discussion. Problems are assigned as homework. Examinations are given
to
evaluate the student’s level of understanding of the material. In
addition
to the lectures, students will be expected to give at least one article
summary. For course objectives: PHYS107

Student Conduct Code: Membership in the DACC community brings both rights and responsibility. As a student at DACC, you are expected to exhibit conduct compatible with the educational mission of the College. It is the student’s responsibility to become familiar with and adhere to the Student Conduct Code and the Academic Integrity Policy, as contained in the DACC Student Handbook. The Student Handbook is available in the Information Office in Vermilion Hall.
