Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course will include four parts. Part 1 : Generic laws of motion (cinematics, dynamics, statics). Part 2 : Complements of mechanics (laws of conservation, elasticity, vibrations). Part 3 : waves. Part 4 : heat and thermodynamics. Part 5 : mechanics of fluids.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The goal of the course is to learn some new fundamental concepts, related to different Physics fields (mechanics of point , mechanics of solids, mechanics of fluids, thermodynamics) and that are relevant for students in Biology, Geology and Geography. The emphasis is placed on an active knowledge and the resolution of exercices.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basics in mathematics and physics at the level of high-school.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course will include 45 h. of course (23 x 2h), 28 h. of exercices ( 14 x 2h) and 12 h. of laboratories (4 x 3h). Free tutorials will also be proposed.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Green code : everything is organized on-site.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Yellow and orange codes : hybrid teaching on-site and on-line. Red code : all teaching on-line.
Recommended or required readings
Mandatory support : book Physique of Joseph Kane & Morton Sternheim, 4th edition revised by Philippe Ghosez, Marise Hoebeke and Gabriel Llabrès (Dunod, Paris 2018). ISBN 978-2-10-076175-3.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( open-ended questions )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
The evaluation will include a writing exam on theory, a writing exam on exercices and an exam on laboratories. Depdending of the pandemic situation, the exam will be in person or on line but according to the same scheme.
