Re: General Physics



1) First look at the course description in the catalog; the
same that students see when they select courses.

2) Then talk to somebody who was teaching the course.

3) If you are creating a totally new course then try to
find out who requested it and why. Ask them for help.

4) As a last resort ask what students want and try to
find a common denominator. Teach what you know
the best, what they are ready for, and what might be
practically useful to many of them.

Next semester I am teaching a general physics class to people in the
trades. It is a one semester course that is supposed to cover everyt
hing. How do I decide what to cover?

What do you all cover?
Thanks
