Professor: Wen Shen
(This guy is hilarious! My favorite quote by him was “Monkey see,
monkey do!”)
Would I take this course again or recommend it: I took this
course and the corresponding lab. I would take this course again, and I would
recommend it to anyone who is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree. I took
physics in high school and I can say I was a little rusty. I plan on taking
PHYS 180 & 181 in the future, so this class was beneficial for me. I learn a lot of introductory physics formulas and laws - Newton Three Laws of Motion to Hooke's Law to Archimedes' Principle and preformed labs associated with the theories.
What would I have done differently: I don’t think I would do
anything differently. I guess I would have immediately enrolled into PHYS 180
after taking this course.
Is it worth the $380 tuition, $26 technology fee, $32
student union fee –- for a grand total of $438: Yes. I didn’t need to purchase
a textbook for this course. I downloaded a free and older physics textbook in pdf format off the internet.
College Physics, 7th Edition is recommended, but Professor Shen
emailed out the worksheets, problems and lab assignments.
Certification: There is no certification corresponding with
this course.
Transfer to UNLV: (Don’t know. I’ll find out later.)
I took this course under Professor Wen Shen too. If you were rusty I would say not as much as I am. I took Physics in 1999 in high school. I have forgotten most of it. The Professor was really helpful when I did not understand something. I would recommend that course too.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt. I need to sign up for my next physics class, I already feel like I'm forgetting a lot.
