Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course students will be expected to
High School
Purdue North Central
Please indicate the learning
outcomes
1. modeling motion in one and two dimensions,
including both kinematical and dynamical
aspects.
2. modeling motion using conservation
principles of energy and momentum.
3. modeling systems by using force diagrams
and invoking appropriate equations such as
Newtons Laws.
4. modeling the static and dynamic properties of
fluids.
5. modeling thermodynamic processes and
properties of systems.
6. modeling mechanical disturbances such as
oscillations and waves within media.
7. identifying & assessing both random and
systematic errors in lab experiments.
8. assessing the statistical validity of claims
based on experimental data. This includes the
validity of patterns claimed to exist within
some data, and also the degree of confidence
one may have when a particular pattern is
used to test a hypothesis.
9. assessing the consistency of a prediction with
intuition and/or physical models.
Disability Accommodations Statement: As a CEP student, you are required to follow the PNC policy for
disabilities. Purdue University North Central is committed to providing all students equal access to learning
opportunities. Students with a documented disability that either prevents them from fully participating in
any aspect of this course, or that require an accommodation should contact the instructor within the first two
weeks of this course. Students who have self-identified and who have appropriate documentation (from a
medical professional) that has been verified through the PNC Disability Services Coordinator, (located in
LSF 103 or by phone at 219-785-5374), will be given accommodations for this course . It is the student's
responsibility to request an accommodation and schedule their exams with the Student Success Center,
professor, or Disability Services Coordinator.
Course Evaluation
Course evaluation for each course is done online. After the 12th week of the semester you
will
receive emails asking you to fill out the course evaluation for each course on
line. There may be in-class reminders for completing the online evaluation. IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU COMPLETE THE COURSE EVALUATION since your
feedback is important for improving the course.
Academic Integrity
As a PNC-CEP student, you are responsible for following PNC’s academic integrity
policy. Academic Integrity is a core value of our community. Academic honesty and
appropriate classroom behavior are the responsibility of each PNC student. Students who
are found to be in violation of the academic integrity policy will be subject to both
academic and non-academic sanctions such as failing grade in the class and/or in cases
where the student may have a pattern of misconduct with the University, the student may
be separated from the University because of this behavior.
You are expected to be familiar with the University’s Code of Conduct and possible
sanctions. You can access this document on the Dean of Students webpage under
University and Campus Policies/Student Conduct, Disciplinary Procedures and Appeals,
or at: http://www.pnc.edu/Policy/conduct. Students should also make themselves aware
of an addendum covering classroom disruption which can be found at:
http://www.pnc.edu/academic_affairs/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2013/05/Disruptionin-Classroom-Policy.pdf.
Students should understand that if you are charged with an offense, pleading ignorance of
the rules will not serve as an excuse. You need to make yourself familiar with these
university documents. Any questions you may have can be directed to the Dean of
Students.
