Statistical Physics ( 343Phys-3 )
1st Term 1435-1436 AH (2014 -2015)
A separate Course Report (CR) should be submitted for every course and for each section or campus
location where the course is taught, even if the course is taught by the same person. Each CR is to be
completed by the course instructor at the end of each course and given to the course coordinator
A combined, comprehensive CR should be prepared by the course coordinator and the separate location
reports are to be attached.

2. Consequences of Non Coverage of Topics
For any topics where the topic was not taught or practically delivered, comment on how significant you
believe the lack of coverage is for the course learning outcomes or for later courses in the program. Suggest
possible compensating action.
Topics (if any) not Fully
Covered
Magnetic energy and Pauli’s
magnetism.

Summarize any actions you recommend for improving teaching strategies as a result of evaluations in table
3 above.
It is useful to allow students search on the Internet and use the institute facilities to prepare a short
presentation/ report.
4. Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Strategies for Intended Learning Outcomes set out in the Course
Specification. (Refer to planned teaching strategies in Course Specification and description of Domains of
Learning Outcomes in the National Qualifications Framework)
List Teaching Methods set out in Course
Specification
Knowledge:
 Classroom discussions based on topic
given by course instruction.
 Try to link the previous knowledge to the
current and future topics.
 Tutorial discussion and solving the
problems.
 Homeworks.

Note: In order to analyze the assessment of student achievement for each course learning outcome,
student performance results can be measured and assessed using a KPI, a rubric, or some grading system
that aligns student work, exam scores, or other demonstration of successful learning.
