1 ATTACHMENT 2 (g) Course Report Kingdom of Saudi Arabia The COURSE REPORT (CR) King Khalid University College of Science for Girls - Abha Department of Physics Light and Optics (Phys-330) 1st Term AH ( ) A separate Course Report (CR) should be submitted for every course and for each section or campus location where the course is taught, even if the course is taught by the same person. Each CR is to be completed by the course instructor at the end of each course and given to the course coordinator A combined, comprehensive CR should be prepared by the course coordinator and the separate location reports are to be attached.

Suggest possible compensating action. Topics (if any) not Fully Effected Learning Possible Compensating Action Covered Outcomes 3. Course learning outcome assessment. List course learning outcomes List methods of assessment Summary analysis of assessment results 1 Knowledge 1- Define the nature of Light and other phenomena related with it. During the lecture, some questions/problems are given to determine what have the students learnt or got. Effective Form 5b_ Course Report _SSRP_1 JULY 2013 Page 3

4 2- Recognize the geometrical and physical optics and their applications in our life. 3- Describe the optical equipment and how to use in the medical and scientific applications. 4- State different interferometric equipments. Homework and Quizzes One or two major tests and final exam 2 Cognitive Skills: Explain problems using proper number of significant figures and proper units in conversion factors. Predict our physics concept to life. Develop the student ability to search in the internet and find the information related to the course. Analyze the physical phenomena and used it in our life 3 Interpersonal Skills and Responsibility: Modify the work independently and as part of a team. Use resources, time and other members of the group Analyze results of work to others Use learning resources such as lecture textbooks, websites and scientific literatures. 4 Communication, Information Technology, The conceptual questions used in quizzes. Discuss students through lectures. majors and exams are designed to involve the processing or evaluating and organizing information. Evaluating the performance of the students during the classes. Grading the homework, quizzes and exams. IT Duties and presentation. Students solve problems through Effective Effective Effective Form 5b_ Course Report _SSRP_1 JULY 2013 Page 4

5 Numerical Use Web CT, Smartclassroom computers, e- mail, internet in communication with students. Use numerical skills in solving physics problems. 5 Psychomotor network and then evaluate this activity. Summarize any actions you recommend for improving teaching strategies as a result of evaluations in table 3 above. 4. Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Strategies for Intended Learning Outcomes set out in the Course Specification. (Refer to planned teaching strategies in Course Specification and description of Domains of Learning Outcomes in the National Qualifications Framework) List Teaching Methods set out in Course Specification Were these Effective? No Yes Difficulties Experienced (if any) in Using the Strategy and Suggested Action to Deal with Those Difficulties. Knowledge: Use various educations tools during the lecture such as open discussion, problem solving, and explanation through TV networks. Cognitive Skills: Lecture Notes and Power Point Slides. Homework assignments problem. Problem solving in the tutorial. Training students to Discussion. Yes Yes Form 5b_ Course Report _SSRP_1 JULY 2013 Page 5

6 Interpersonal Skills & Responsibility: Classroom discussion and group work. Students are encouraged to ask questions, express their worries and concerns freely. Internet search, assignments and essays. Solving problems in groups during classes. Use demos to understand the physics concepts. Communication, Information The use of computer programs and internet. Use tools needed for practical training. Yes Yes Psychomotor: not fond No Note: In order to analyze the assessment of student achievement for each course learning outcome, student performance results can be measured and assessed using a KPI, a rubric, or some grading system that aligns student work, exam scores, or other demonstration of successful learning.
