Physics Concepts and Connections I—with Lab |
|
Physics Concepts and Connections I (PH 1700/1710) is a first semester college physics course for pre-therapy majors (PT, OT, CSD). We learn physics principles in a deeply conceptual way using inquiry, computer interface equipment and constructivist activities. Students are encouraged to relate physics principles learned to their area of career interest through a final project. |
|
Physics Concepts and Connections II (PH 1750/1760) is primarily populated by Pre-PT students planning to enter a Doctor of Physical Therapy Graduate Program. As such, all physics principles—both mathematical and conceptual—are related to the physics of the body. |

MY COURSES |
|
Phascination of Physics |
|
Phascination of Physics (PH 2300/2310) is a one semester physics course designed for non-science majors. The course is taught with a hands-on, inquiry-based pedagogy studying principles of waves & sound, light and color and current electricity. The course culmination is the development of a Haunted Physics Laboratory (see pictures on Haunted Physics webpage.) |
|
Physical Optics |
|
The Optics course (PH 4400) is designed for physics majors and covers both the geometric and physical properties of optical principles including optics of the eye. Students will complete a final optics research project in which they relate content learned to an area of optics research. |
