1. Course Description:

The purpose of this course is to give students an understanding the components of electric circuits and how those components work together in DC circuits. Hands-on lab activities and computer simulations will be used throughout the course. Students will practice taking measurements using a multi-meter and then will compare their results to those predicted by the theory. Troubleshooting open and shorted circuits will also be covered throughout the course.

This course starts with a review of scientific notation, metric prefixes, and unit conversion. The students will then be introduced to voltage, current, and resistance. That knowledge will then be applied using Ohm’s law and Watt’s law. Series and parallel circuits will then be studied in detail. Combination series-parallel circuits will then be covered to thoroughly test the student’s knowledge.

2. Learning Outcomes:

1. Give students an understanding of the components of electric circuits 2. Understand series DC circuits 3. Be able to take voltage, current, and resistance measurements using a multi-meter. 4.

Subject Teacher: Robert Burch


Course Description:

M3 Basic English is a course designed around the concept of learning English through a literature/language arts approach. Students learn English through exploration of engaging topics that connect selections for discussion and analysis, so students can more deeply investigate several dimensions of the topic. The readings are a balance of complex texts, with collections of fiction, nonfiction, and informational included to ensure that the students are exposed to a large variety of genres and text types.

Students develop abilities not only for analyzing texts, but also for evidence-based writing, conducting smart conversations, and delivering solid arguments. High-level essays and creative writing skills are also regular features of the course. Alongside the overall focus on general English development, the range of high-level English language skills covered in M3 Basic English will assist students in taking competitive standardized exams such as SAT, TOEFL, IELTS and Thai University Entrance exams, as well as broadening their general knowledge of areas such as literature, culture, history, philosophy, arts, anthropology, mythology, and related areas. Other course highlights include interactive activities, high-level vocabulary building, dictionary skills, advanced grammar development and research skills. The students will also develop their speaking skills through public speaking presentations and other activities.

Goals/ Expected Learning Outcomes The students will be able to:

1. Learn information and develop ideas around specific themes/essential questions. 2. Learn advanced grammar through an active, systematic approach. 3. Develop a variety of high-level listening and speaking techniques. 4. Develop high-level critical and creative thinking skills. 5. Develop close reading and note-taking skills that empower them to become active and effective

learners. 6. Develop knowledge of advanced English vocabulary and idioms. 7. Improve creative and academic writing skills (essays, reports, journals, summaries, articles, etc.). 8. Work collaboratively on a variety of tasks. 9. Learn and refine research skills with an emphasis on using the Internet. 10. Gain an awareness of different features of the English language (register, tone, pronunciation, etc.). 11. Develop test-taking skills for English exams. 12. Instill greater confidence in the students’ usage of English.
