STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Students will demonstrate knowledge of electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. 2. Students will solve algebra-based problems in electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. 3. Students will experimentally verify fundamental concepts in electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics.
EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS 1. Attend class regularly. From the Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2014 (p. 19) “Students are expected to attend all classes and to complete all assignments for courses in which they are enrolled … If an absence is associated with a university-sanctioned activity, the instructor will provide an opportunity for assignment make-up.” A student absent from class should find out the material discussed on the day of the absence and the assignment for the next class meeting. 2. Work all homework assignments and perform all lab experiments. 3. Bring the following required materials to class: • Textbook (for lecture) • Lab Manual & flash drive (for lab). • Calculator (cell phones should not substitute as calculators). • 12” ruler (clear plastic with centimeter scale works best). 4. Observe academic honesty as stated in the Undergraduate Bulletin 2013-2014 (p. 20-21): • All work on tests is expected to be original with the student. No credit will be given for a test in which the student was observed cheating. • Homework assignments and lab reports are expected to be original with the student. No credit will be given for copied work or for enabling others to produce work that is not their own.
5. Observe professional behavior in the classroom (potential grade sanctions for infractions): • Come to class on time and leave only when class is over unless you have made prior arrangements with the instructor. • Minimize socializing (no talking to anyone except the instructor). • Use appropriate electronic devices in the classroom (no cell phones, audio devices). • No food or drink in the classroom. 6. Questions, comments or requests regarding this course or program should be taken to your instructor. Unanswered questions or unresolved issues involving this class may be taken to the Physics & Engineering Physics Department office (RH 306).
GRADING PROCEDURES The distribution of total points will be 80% lecture and 20% lab. The lecture grade is based on hour tests, daily work (homework, quizzes, in-class assignments), and a final exam. •
All tests are announced in advance.
•
Make-up for missed tests will be given only in the case of extenuating circumstances at the instructor's discretion. Make-up tests for anything other than a university-sanctioned activity will generally be more challenging than the original test.
•
We will be using WileyPLUS in PH121 lecture. WileyPLUS is a web-based application that allows students to complete their homework online and receive instant feedback on their work. There is no charge for WileyPLUS.
•
Late homework is accepted only for absences due to a university-sanctioned activity and when prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.
•
The lowest scores on both lab reports and homework will be dropped.
•
Students must attend the lab section they are officially registered in. After the first week of classes, no student is allowed to switch lab sections.
The distribution of points is as follows:
