Physics 212 | Cascades Winter 2020 Calendar

This is the course calendar and once you're familiar with the class structure, this is the only place you need to go to find study materials and assignments.

PH 212 General Physics With Calculus

CRN |  38050

Credit Hours |  4

Legend


The video below introduces you to the features on the calendar.

 

We have a naming/coding scheme for our curriculum and it's important you understand how to interpret it.

Lectures: We strongly encourage you to attend all lectures.

Learning Cycle Numbers:     1 = Pre-lecture Famarilization     ;     2 = Foundational Lecture     ;     3 = Practice Post-lecture     ;     4 = Mastery Challenge Homework.

Code Legend: [Topic Code].[Lecture Number].[Stage in the Learning Cycle]

   For Example: RK.L1.1 stands for Rotational Kinematics, lecture 1, pre-lecture homework.

Topic Codes:

  • RK = Rotational Kinematics
  • IR = Instantaneous Rotational Kinematics
  • SD = Statics and Dynamics
  • RC = Rotation and Conserved Quantities
  • NC = Non-Uniform Mass and Combined Motion
  • FS = Fluid Statics
  • FD = Fluid Dynamics
  • OS = Oscillating Systems
  • TW = Traveling Waves
  • SW = Standing Waves

Reflective Writing: RW 1 stands for the week 1 reflective writing exercise.

Lectures


We strongly encourage you to attend all lectures where we will be working on problem solving. Particiaption in these events will result in full credit for the lecture portion of your grade.

Lecture times:

    Tuesdays  |  12:00 pm - 1:20 pm

    Thursdays  |  12:00 pm - 1:20 pm
