COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is intended to be a first introduction to quantum phenomena in nature. Quatum Mechanics forms the basis of our description of
nature at small scales and a clear understanding of it is required to understand phenomena ranging from atoms and chemical bonding to
semiconductors and nuclear physics. We will present a concise and comprehensive picture of quantum theory with emphasis on concept building.
The concepts will be organized around the idea of wave particle duality and its consequences. Numerous applications to real world phenomena
will be discussed throughout the course. The course also has a component that discusses the application of statistical ideas in physics and how it
gives rise to our common understanding of phenomena involving heat and temperature in the form of laws of thermodynamics including their
applications.
COURSE PREREQUISITE(S)
COURSE OBJECTIVES
To introduce the students to the concepts that form the basis of quantum physics including wave particle duality, Heisenbergs
uncertainty principle etc.
To introduce the students to mathematical formulation of quantum physics in the form of wave functions and Schroedingers
equation etc.
To introduce various laws that govern the heat flow and macroscopic concepts of work and their statistical microscopic basis

COURSE DESCRIPTION
SS 100 is a four-credit academic writing core course designed for first year BA/BSc students at Lahore University
of Management Sciences.
Writing at the university level can be a daunting experience therefore this course has been designed to develop
argumentative composition skills that are deemed essential to successful future university coursework.
To address this aim a considerable amount of time is spent on honing writing skills to create clear forceful prose,
to formulate and support a compelling thesis, to employ rhetorical strategies effectively, and to observe the
conventions of academic writing. To further support this aim, some of the class time is spent on reading and
analyzing prose written for various purposes and audiences. The course also aims to address a second minor aim,
that of improving presentation skills through a constructive and practical approach to effective oral
communication in academic settings.
Specific goals for this course include: reading not only for comprehension but also critically for implications &
inference, gaining a clear sense of audience and purpose in critical and persuasive writing; understanding and
employing techniques of argument analysis; being aware of style and voice; developing fluency in various aspects
of the writing process, such as pre-writing, paragraph organization, thesis development, evidence construction,
revision techniques and finally, analysis & critical response to texts.
Throughout the semester students will have regular reading assignments which are complementary to the lecture
material. They will be expected to write three essays, in addition to several smaller writing tasks, and quizzes.
Attendance for this course is mandatory and will be graded. Another essential component of this course is class
participation which again will be graded.
It is expected that at the end of the course students will be able to write argumentatively in a clear and concise
manner in order to meet the multiple needs and purposes of academic situations.

should make a logical claim & have an attention-gripping tag line and use a blend of ethos, logos and pathos to sell
the product or service. However, one of the persuasive appeals should be more dominant to the other 2.
Present this advertisement on multi-media (1 slide) (5 minutes per group) and explain why you think this is a
