Description<\/h4>\n

\u200bThis module concentrates on the underlying physics skills required in science and engineering. To develop knowledge and the ability to develop the methodologies and modelling for real problems The relationship between the various aspects of this module and their role to scientists and engineers in the workplace will be highlighted.<\/p>\n

Aims<\/h4>\n

1. We will provide you with a level of knowledge, understanding and competence in basic physics to allow progression onto a technical or scientific degree.
\n2. You will develop analytical and numerical problem solving skills in basic physics.
\n3. You will understand the links between different areas of physics.<\/p>\n

Knowledge & Understanding<\/h4>\n

On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of the laws of physics and their origins.
\n2. Demonstrate competence in problem solving using the laws of physics through analytical and numerical means.
\n3. Demonstrate key analytical and numerical skills.<\/p>\n

Learning, Teaching and Assessment<\/h4>\n

The module is delivered by lectures and tutorials.<\/p>\n

46 hours of lectures which are a blend of teacher-centred delivery of important concepts, flipped-classroom and learner-centred delivery for application of concepts in problem solving.<\/p>\n

23 hours of problem solving tutorial classes in which students embark on assisted problem solving exercises.<\/p>\n

Tutorial question solutions are carried out with smaller groups of students. Students will apply subjects from the Mathematics modules to directly solve problems from the Physics modules. This is to reflect the increasing focus of A-Level on cross-disciplinary problem solving.<\/p>\n

Formative tests, which are applied throughout the module, will guide the next steps in instructions and help identify learning needs to ensure success. These will lead to the final summative coursework assessments at the end of each trimester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
