The general education goals covered in Physics II are quantitative, critical thinking and problem
solving skills. See the Student Handbook for additional details.
Section V
Outcomes Assessment:
A college-wide outcomes assessment program has been put into place to enhance the quality and
effectiveness of the curriculum and programs at Salem Community College. As part of this
assessment program, the learning outcomes for this course will be assessed. Assessment
methods may include tests, quizzes, papers, reports, projects and other instruments. Copies of all
outcomes assessments are available in an electronic assessment bank maintained by the
Institutional Research and Planning Office.
Section VI
Course Activities:
The students will learn from lectures, small group discussions, individual explorations, and
practice work. They will also be assigned homework problems, laboratory activities, classwork
problems.
Writing assignments: students will analyze current issues in the field using current articles,
library research and electronic resources databases.
Speaking assignments: students will present research individually or in groups using the
available technology to support their presentation (e.g., PowerPoint presentation).
Course Requirements and Means of Evaluation:
Please refer to the instructor’s syllabus addendum (to be distributed in class) for specific
information regarding the course requirements and means of evaluation.
Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend all scheduled class.
Regular and prompt attendance in all classes is expected of students. Students absent from class
for any reason are responsible for making up any missed work. Faculty members establish an
attendance policy for each course and it is the student’s responsibility to honor and comply with
that policy.
