Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The experimental physics course consists of the following main parts: mechanics, fluidics and electricity. Oral teaching will be systematically completed with experimental demonstrations.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Physics describes the real world. Each topic will be dealt with through concrete observation and experimentation so as to lead students to the theoretical study of specific concepts and notions without ever emphasizing details. We shall focus on fundamental theoretical notions within the students¿ field of interest while providing them with the necessary prerequisite knowledge considering 2nd-year requirements. Whenever possible, the theoretical notions from the different parts of the course will be illustrated with practical applications related to relevant practical courses.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

The course requires good knowledge of secondary education-level mathematics. We advise the students to attend remedial mathematics classes, which will be organized to refresh basic knowledge and bridge the gap between secondary education and bac courses.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

- Practical and exercises sessions are organized in order to illustrate the theoritical courses. To get benefit from these ones, the students are strongly encouraged to read the related theoretical notions before each session.
- Relevant mathematical concepts will be learnt during specific sessions.
- Two specific sessions will be devoted to the laws of movement.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

- The theoretical course (50 h) will be taught in the first term. Remedial formative assessment workshops (20 hours) will be organized in the second term for students who failed the test in January. Sessions will begin in February.
- 8 x 2 h of exercices are planned
- 2 laboratories of 3 h will be organized

Assessment methods and criteria

The modalities will be explained in an official faculty paper.

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

Any absence in an interrogation, an exam or a laboratory session must be justified by medical certificate or official certificate of exceptional circumstances (a letter of the parents is not an official document) put back to the course or sent by mail to the secretariat of the professor. Name, first name and dates of absences will clearly be indicated on the back of the certificate in block capitals.
In the week following is come-back, the student should contact the logistics (Mrs C. Prosperi) to find a date to perform the laboratory.
The presence at the laboratories is mandatory. If the student do not participate to all laboratories, he will not be accepted at the exams.
