A student may not earn credit in both PHYS 2010 or in both PHYS 2020 and 2120. Credit will not be given for both PHYS 1310 and any of the above courses.
Rec. 2. Credit 1.
This course is intended as a bridge course for students entering TTU from high school. The course is designed to strengthen the student's connection to TTU, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the appropriate department (CSC, MATH, or PHYS) by focusing on the enhancement of skills needed for academic success. This course engages the student in meaningful academic and non-academic out-of-the-classroom activities, as learning occurs both in and out of the classroom. It emphasizes critical thinking, the formation of academic and social goals and support groups, and time-management and study skills.
