What do the first-year physics subjects have in common?
The focus of your learning will range over similar areas of physics in each semester (though the depth and range of applications differs between subjects).The subjects share the same pattern of teaching: three lectures per week, one 1-hour tutorial per week and one 2 to 3-hour laboratory based workshop class for up to 9 weeks per semester. The distribution of marks between the different forms of assessment is the same: 60% for one 3-hour written examination at the end of semester; 25% for laboratory work, assessed throughout the semester and15% for tests and assignment each semester.
