PHYSIC 188S: Science Gateway Seminar II

This seminar course is organized along a theme of inquiry-based learning. It provides structured, intensive preparation for the calculus-based introductory physics sequence and other related courses. The course content roughly falls into three interconnected categories: (i) essential study skills, (ii) basic mathematical methods, and (iii) thinking like a physicist. By detailed review and targeted practice in these areas, the course aims to maximize each student¿s potential for success in their degree and the scientific community. This is the second course in a two-semester sequence, two credits each semester. Successful completion of the sequence fulfills the First-Year Seminar requirement.
