Physics: Physics Problem Solving I

Problem-solving techniques for first semester Physics with calculus. Accompanying lecture PHYS 1500.

Open to Degree and PACE students PHYS 1500 is a combined lecture/lab. Students should only register for PHYS 1510 if they wish to add an optional problem-solving session to their schedule.

Physics 1510 is a support course for students concurrently enrolled in Physics 1500. It is essentially an extra-help session for working out the solutions to the homework problem sets from Physics 1500.

Students should have attempted the problems in the current Physics 1500 homework set before attending each class. Students will work in small groups and with the instructor on problem solving during the class. Students will generally submit one worked problem during each class meeting.

This is a S/U course graded on participation. Participation will be evaluated based on attendance and/or submitting proof of work in class. Students may miss three classes and still receive credit. There are no exams or tests in the class.
