Exam Schedule
Exam 1 – 2 Feb 05 (W) – Ch 19-21
Exam 2 – 2 Mar 05 (W) – Ch 22-24
Exam 3 – 6 Apl 05 (W) – Ch 25-27
Exam 4 (final) – 4 May 05 12:30-2:20pm
Last Day to WITHDRAW with a W is Apl 11.
Final Exam will be May 3 10:15am-12:15pm. It will include 2 parts – Part 1 over Ch 28-30 and Part 2 over Ch 19-27.
Class Attendance: Students are required to regularly attend all lecture and lab periods. At the point a student is absent for 8.33% of the contact hours for unexcused reasons, the student may be withdrawn from the course.
Grading
Lecture Grade = average of 4 exam grades
(final = 2x weight of others, lowest exam grade dropped)
Lab Grade = Average of Lab Report Grades (lowest lab dropped)
Final Grade = 80% Lecture Grade + 15% Lab grade + 5% problems+attendance.
Grading Scale: A: 90-100, B: 80-89.9, C: 70-79.9, D: 60-69.9, F: 0-59.9
Reserved Books in the Library
Serway, Principles of Physics, 3rd ed.
Edmonds, et al., Cioffari’s Experiments in College Physics, 10th ed.
RP Feynman: Feynman Lectures in Physics, QC23 F47
I. Azimov Understanding Physics, QC23 A8
Recommended Problems:
20 problems per chapter
Makeup policy: No makeup exams will be given. If an exam is missed, that will be treated as the exam to be dropped. If a lab is missed it may be made up only in another scheduled lab doing the missed experiment.
Cheating: You may not use material in a test, quiz, or exam which is not allowed; turn in someone else’s work in completion of a test, lab report, or homework. Remove or copy an exam without Dr Mills’ permission; plagiarism; copying information from someone else’s test, lab report, or any graded homework. Cheating will be punished in accordance with College procedures.
Withdrawal: A student may withdraw from the course at any time prior to the withdrawal deadline specified in the SJCD academic calendar.
Final Exam: Tuesday May 3 10:15am-12:15pm
Note: This course is about learning to solve problems. This involves strategy as well as insight and math skills. Learning how to approach and figure out how to work problems is as important (more important actually) than the number of problems you work. My experience is that it takes struggling with a minimum of about 20 problems per chapter in order to develop enough insight and facility in problem solving to reflect mastery of the material. Working problems is not busy work – it is training.
