Q
“
This course will present a broad survey of the principles of
sound, wave motion, electricity and magnetism, and optics and will illustrate
the logic and reasoning upon which these principles are based. A great deal of emphasis will be placed on
the understanding of these principles and their application.
HOMEWORK (100):
Throughout the semester problems will be assigned which are intended to
illustrate some of the principles covered in the lecture. These problems represent the minimum number that
the student should work in order to obtain some understanding of the
concepts. On the day the problems are
due one or more may be selected at random for grading. These homework problems will count a maximum
of 100 points toward the final grade.
The student is expected to be able to work all of them and will be held
responsible for all of them. When
preparing the homework observe the following
üUse 8 ½ X 11 paper lined or unlined
but not torn from a spiral notebook.
üWrite in pencil on one side of the page only.
üPut no more than two problems on a page. Make
sure that all of any one problem is on a single page.
üNeatly Print your name at the top of each homework page before
bringing them to class.
üInclude the following when working a
problem: your name, problem number,
sketch, units and vector arrows.
Organize steps in the solution in logical, chohrent
steps and identify the answers with boxes.
Any graphs required for the solution will be drawn on graph paper and
stapled to the page on which the problem is worked.
POP QUIZ: The student should expect a short quiz over the material to be
covered that day. These quizzes will be given at the discretion of the
instructor and will count toward the next exam grade. There will be no make-up quizzes.
EXAMS (400) There will be four 50 minute exams as indicated on
the calendar. These exams will consist
of several problems taken from the problems at the end of the chapter, from the
examples worked out in the text or from other sources. These exams will be given in room 318 at
FINAL EXAM (100): The
Final Exam will be over the material covered since the last exam. The Final will be worth a maximum of 100
points toward the final grade and will be given
LAB GRADE(200): The
laboratory grade will count a maximum of 200 points toward the final grade (25%
of the final grade). The lecture and lab
grades will be combined into a single grade and the same grade will be recorded
for the lecture and the lab.
FINAL GRADE (800): The
maximum total points possible will be 800 and a final grade will be assigned
according to the following
720-800
A
640-719
B
560-639
C
480-559
D
000-479
