Course Description
This course will put heavy emphasis on in-class activities and discussion rather than lengthy instructor monologues. The discussions and activities are interactive and required your participation. Therefore, it is not only recommended, but is absolutely essential to your success in the course to carefully read and study each assigned chapter before coming to class. The text has exercises and examples embedded in each section that you should attempt to solve as you complete the reading. Physics (as with many things) is learned by doing physics rather than watching someone else.
