Student Learning Outcomes: * Student in the course:

- Can identify, define, and solve problems

New:

Please explain briefly how this outcome will be addressed in the course. Give brief examples of class work related to the outcome.

Problem-solving is central to learning Physics. Lecture and reading introduce concepts and the students apply these concepts through weekly assignments, learning how to evaluate which principles and techniques are applicable in various situations.

How will you assess the students' learning related to this outcome? Give brief examples of how class work related to the outcome will be evaluated.

Students are provided sets of problems to solve weekly, some of which are graded and others are available for individual practice. Three quizzes consisting of complex problems are used to evaluate problem solving skills related to different areas throughout the term and a problem-based final exam is used to evaluate overall mastery of course objectives.
