Report
Students attending the 101 Phys course are suffering from English language
and Mathematics. The course is covered from the text book namely:
Physics for Scientists& Engineers with Modern Physics; 7th edition,
Serway, Saunders Golden Sunburst Series, 2007.
This book is depending on applied examples and the book is considered as
suitable for engineering students. For science students it is recommended to
study from one of the essential references which already in the course plan
namely:
1-
University Physics;11th edition, Young and Freedman, pearson,
Addison Wesley, 2004.2
2- Fundamentals of Physics; Halliday, Resnik and Walker, John Wiley and
Sons Inc., 2007.
Both covering the course contents, also they have deep physical meaning for
the phenomena under study and could be helpful for the science students.
It is important to have internet connection in the classroom in order to teach
the students how to search in the web in order to carry our simple essay from
the internet. Also it is recommended to have extra time for solving the
problems and examples in order to fulfill the teaching of the course as the
students in this stage need more efforts to support their knowledge,
Finally I wish all the best to the students during their study in the faculty of
science.
