COURSE TITLE : Physics for Health Sciences(these details have font size of 11, Arial)
COURSE DESCRIPTION : This learning area is designed to provide knowledge of the basic concepts in physics with its application in everyday living.
Examples and applications related to the health sciences and everyday situations are used to illustrate physical principles.
(when you type the details here do not press Enter, it’ll automatically word-wrap)
Cognitive:
a. demonstrate in-depth understanding about the dynamics of astronomy;
b. analyze and articulate sound opinion on a variety of complex concepts effectively; and
c. create conclusions and generalization prior to astronomy.
Affective:
a. build a conceptual understanding rather than simply memorizing;
b. demonstrate a broad and coherent knowledge and understanding about the topics in physics for health sciences.
c. Value the importance of physics in the field of health sciences.
Psychomotor:
a. relate abstract concepts to specific real-world events.
b. Show greater skill in comprehending mathematical problems related to physics.
