This course focuses on a continuation of Modern Physics and a supplemental study of any
topics not in the curriculum but which should be taught for general understanding and taking
SAT and CUATS Physics tests. The course offers both a conceptual foundation and an
algebra-based presentation of Physics. Critical thinking skills in solving problems will be the
emphasis with a sound basic understanding of conventional Mathematics. The course will
closely follow the order and content of the latest version of the American high school
textbook, Holt Physics. Students are encouraged to read widely from different resources
which include the Internet, various Physics (both British and American), books published for
improving examination skills as well as from Thai Physics books. They can always approach
the teacher for references should they require.

Academic Integrity Policy
Students are expected to following the guidelines laid down in the Assumption College
Student Handbook in terms of academic pursuits and excellence. They are strongly and
constantly reminded that it is of paramount importance to understand one topic intensively
before being able to move on to the next one. However, all the topics are inter-related.
Therefore, any forms of idleness of poor attitude in learning Physics will not be tolerated and
remedial actions immediately instigated to rectify the situation. Students are always welcome
to consult the teacher for guidance of whatever issues related to learning which may arise.
Behavioral Expectations
A good sense of behavioral awareness in the classroom will be strictly reinforced which is
essential to the ultimate success of the learning process. Students are not allowed to do other
subjects in the Physics class or play with electronic gadgets not related to what is being
taught in the classroom. Infraction of behavioral rules will be handled accordingly.
Attendance & Tardiness
Attendance will be taken at the start of every class. Students are expected to be in class ontime, every time. Unexcused absences or tardiness will not be tolerated. In the case of
planned absences, please notify the teacher in as far in advance as possible. Students are
expected to catch up on all missed work outside of class time.
Homework & Class-work
Homework and class-work will be assigned often and must be submitted on or before the due
date. Late assignments can be submitted for a maximum of 50% up until the last week of the
term. All late or missed assignments that are not turned in before the last week of the term

Recommendations for Success
Chemistry can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the
following:
1. Read, read, read the Chemistry textbook. Oftentimes, reading the text once is not
enough even for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple
times to understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school
(typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the
material and gain the most from the course.
2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in
class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.
3. Get a Thai language introductory chemistry book.
4. Get a math and/or chemistry tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing
the work for you!
5. Do not copy your classmates work.
6. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance.
7. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook.
We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the
chapter and see the teacher for the answers.
8. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in
homeroom or during any free time you might have in other classes.

Course Description
This introductory course to Biology starts with ecological principles and how they can be
used to understand and encourage sustainable development and biodiversity preservation.
There is a special emphasis on His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyedej’s Sufficiency
Economy Philosophy and how it can be used as a strong foundation for sustainable
development at all levels of society. Links to issues in the arts and social sciences will be
made to give the subject ‘real life’ relevance.
We will then cover cell homeostasis and the mechanisms by which individual cells and the
cells of tissues transport materials within cells and across cell membranes. Finally, we will
cover the human immune system, its components and disorders of the immune system, with a
focus on HIV.
Biology 5 is heavily project-based and students are required to complete hands-on activities
in order to succeed in the course. Critical thinking skills are emphasized and students are
encouraged to see the ‘Big Picture’ and apply the information that they learn to solve
problems that face humanity.

Recommendations for Success
Physics can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the
following:
1.
2.
Read the textbook and websites that the teacher recommends.
When studying, learning in the classroom and doing homework, always try to think
about how the topic we are learning fits into the ‘Big Picture.’
3. Ask questions when you don’t understand. If you don’t understand something, there
are likely other students who don’t understand as well. If you ask, then you will be
helping those students as well. If you feel more confident asking a question in private,
then you may do so.
4. Do not copy any work from anyone. This will damage your potential for thinking and
being creative. It will also get you a zero. Don’t let other students copy your work
either, as it will encourage your friends to be lazy and will harm them in the future.

. All students are encouraged to try the following:
1. Read the resources provided by your teacher. Oftentimes, reading source material
once is not enough even for native English speakers. You may need to read the
material multiple times to understand. By reading along at home with the lessons
taught at school (typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to
responsibly manage the material and gain the most from the course.
2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in
class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.
3. Get a Thai language introductory physics and astronomy book.
4. Get a science tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing the work for
you!
5. Do not copy your classmates’ work.
6. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance.
7. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook.
We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the
chapter and see the teacher for the answers.
8. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in
homeroom or during any free time you might have in other classes.

Recommendations for Success
Information technology can be a difficult course for many students. All students are
encouraged to try the following:
1. Read, read, read the textbook. Oftentimes, reading the text once is not enough even
for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple times to
understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school (typically
only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the material
and gain the most from the course.
2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in
class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.
3. Do not copy your classmates work; struggle through and do the work on your own!
This is how you learn!
4. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance.
5. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook.
We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the
chapter and see the teacher for the answers.
6. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in

1. Read, read, read the course textbook. Often, reading the text once is not enough even
for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple times to

before the teacher begins the topic to be discussed during a lesson. This will give the
student a preview of what is about to be learned and allow the student to make
connections between previous learning and new learning topics. Additionally reading
before the lesson will allow the student to be ready with questions to ask of the
teacher when covered in class. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at
school (typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly
manage the material and gain the most from the course.
2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in
class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.
3. Get a Thai language introductory mathematics book.
4. Get a math and/or physics tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing the
work for you!
5. Do not copy your classmates work; struggle through and do the work on your own!

Ask Questions. Never be afraid to ask questions before, during, or after class. Take
responsibility for your own learning. If you don’t ask the question you won’t have the

go on to a review and further study of topics covered in previous years including the real
number system, functions, and analytic geometry. The integration methods considered are
challenging and should prepare the students for a first year University calculus course. During
our investigation of coordinate geometry we will, also review vectors and vector methods in 3
dimensions. This course is designed to prepare students for a first year university (Calculus)
course which is often quite rigorous.
