What is this class called

Physics 201?
Official Course Description:
Physics 201 (Lecture) is a 3-unit introductory algebra-based
physics for Medical Technology students of the Faculty of
Pharmacy. It is supplemented by a 1-unit laboratory. Both the
lecture and laboratory components cover mechanics,
temperature and heat, fluids and electricity. Selected topics
in magnetism, optics and modern physics may be included
by the professor in the course if time permits.

General Objectives
At the end of the semester, the students shall be able to :
1. solve word problems using laws and principles of forces, motion,
work, energy, heat, and electricity;
2. apply the laws and principles of forces, motion, work, energy,
heat, and, electricity;
3. perform simple activities pertaining to the laws and principles of
forces, motion, work, energy, heat, and electricity; and
4. manifest the values of accuracy, honesty and perseverance, and
appreciate the works of God and others and the study of
physics.
