A1 : Basic physics allows students to learn how the laws of nature can be used to describe the real-world phenomena. This course enables students to get familiar with the science of “how things work”, as simple as how you can walk easily, and how you are able to write with a ball point pen on a paper.

A2 : The key aspect of studying physics is UNDERSTANDING the concept, not MEMORIZATION. Once you grasp the basic theory of physics, by doing lots of practices it is easier to improve your physics problem-solving skills. Also, physics incorporates many mathematical elements. One of the best ways to excel in this course is to study mathematics alongside physics.
