This course uses Brightspace, where you can find more information and laboratory instructions.
What Brock calendar entry says:
- Kinematics, Newton's laws and forces; momentum and collisions; torque and circular motion; work and energy; oscillations, waves and sound.
What do I need to bring into the course?
- This is a calculus-based course designed for students in the physical and engineering sciences and or future teachers at the I/S levels. Students may not concurrently register in PHYS 1P21 or PHYS 1P91. This course requires two grade 12 mathematics credits including MCV4U as prerequisites.

| Assignments |
11% |
Each week, there will be an assignment of a few multi-step problems, with expert and peer-feedback. Total of 11 assignments. |
| Final exam |
20% |
Minimum passing grade 50%, and marks given for correct answers. Items allowed for the exam such as cheat sheets and calculators will be announced closer to the exam date. |

- Try the assignment problems yourself for no more than 30 minutes, then ask for help!
- Seek help from Help Desk, your TA, and your classmates by forming study groups. But try it first!
- Sutdy the feedback from your peers and makrers on your assignments and especially your quizes!
- Get your quizes back after they are graded. Study from them. Fixs the mistakes you made. Try teaching the concept to a firend!
