Introduction
Mabuhay! My name is Veronica Galang and I will be your instructor for this semester in this in person course. This course runs from February 06 to June 01. In this letter, you will find basic information about the course as well as resources for ensuring your success in education. Let me start by telling you about me I have an undergraduate degree (B.SE.) in Biology, a master's degree (MAT) in Physics with a credential in Information Technology, and currently taking ED.D. My loving husband and I has four kids. I'm looking forward to exploring teaching in higher education with you all and learning ways to keep my students engaged and connected to the learning experience. In my spare time I love spending time with my sons and our dog, hiking with my husband and watching netflix, and enjoying the sunshine outdoors. I can't wait to get to know you all more in next month!
Course Description
Presents a calculus-based introductory study of particle and rigid body statics and dynamics, vibrational motion, and fluid mechanics. The class meets twice a week for Lecture to Analyze and solve physics problems applying Newton’s laws and the principles of energy conservation to problems involving linear, rotational, oscillatory, and other types of motion and Lab to Conduct experiments using instruments to measure and examine object motion in the context of Newton’s laws and the principles of energy conservation, and formulate meaningful conclusions based on the physical data.
