Final Assignment Edu-511 Curriculum Phy
There are at least three ways in which students should understand the material in the physics
majors program. One level of understanding is conceptual. In addition to conceptual
understanding, students should also have a mathematical understanding, What are the
equations governing a physical system, and how are these equations solved
Problem-solving ability
The ability to analyze and solve novel problems is central to the education of physics
students. Cultivation of such problem-solving ability extends through all parts of our
curriculum, both lecture and laboratory components
Integrated understanding
One of the great beauties of physics, as an intellectual discipline, is the underlying unity of
knowledge that it suggests. An extremely wide variety of phenomena can be explained with
the use of only a small number of fundamental principles, and these principles themselves
form a coherent set which summarize much of our understanding of the physical world.
