I. Subject Description:
This course will focus on the kinetics and kinematics of a particle; kinetics and kinematics of
rigid bodies; work energy method; and impulse and momentum.
II. Course Objectives:
After completing this course, you should be able to discuss the principles governing the motion
of particles, velocity, and acceleration; discuss the principle of Newton’s Second Law of Motion and its
applications; explain kinematics of rigid bodies, its energy and momentum.

IV. Grading System
The Final Grade is computed as follows:
Final Grade = 0.2P1 + 0.2P2 + 0.2P3 + 0.4FE > 60%
1st Periodical Grade = (Class Standing + 1st Periodical Exam)/2 = 50%CS + 50%Exam
Class Standing = 60% Quiz + 40% Class Participation
Class Participation = Seatwork, Assignment, Recitation, Problem set
2nd Periodical Grade = (Class standing + 2nd Periodical Exam)/2
Class Standing = 60% quiz + 40% class participation
Class Participation = Seatwork, Assignment, Recitation, Problem set
3rd Periodical Grade = (Class standing + 3rd Periodical Exam)/2
Class Standing = 60% quiz + 40% class participation
Class Participation = Seatwork, Assignment, Recitation, Problem set

VI. Course Requirements
• There will be four periodic examinations: Preliminary Exam (P1 Exam), Midterm
Exam (P2 Exam), Semifinal Exam (P3 Exam), and Final Exam. Passing >
60%.
• Students who miss a quiz or an exam with a valid reason (ex. A student who fails
to take the exam because of health reasons shall first present a valid medical
certificate to justify his condition) will be allowed to take a make-up quiz or
examination which will be given within five days after the original date of the
quiz or examination but also within the period of encoding of grades.
• A student who incurs a failing grade in the Final Examination gets a Final Grade
of INC. The student is required to file a completion form before qualifying for a
removal examination. The final examination grade will be set to 60 once the
student gets a perfect score in the removal examination. If in one academic
year the student fails to change his/her grade from an INC to a passing
grade, he/she will be given a grade of No Credit (NC).
