PHYSICS 222 HJ Fall 2008
INSTRUCTOR:
Office Hours: M. T. W. Th. 7:50 am – 9:20 am
The required materials for this course are:
TEXT: Physics by Douglas Giancioli, 6th Edition (2004)
CALCULATOR: You need a scientific calculator with trig functions.
GRAPH PAPER: One package
The course will consist of lectures, laboratory experiments, problem assignments, quizzes, and tests.
PROBLEM ASSIGNMENTS: The assigned problems at the end of each chapter are to be turned in on the day announced in class, usually the second class meeting following the completion of the chapter. Two points of credit are given for each completed assignment. Late assignments receive one point. No credit is given once the solutions have been posted in the library. Homework is the single most important part of the course. The quizzes and tests are derived from these problems, so be sure you understand how to do all of them. Get help with those you have trouble with.
LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS are to be done during the assigned class period. Reports are due one week later. Each on time lab report has a value of two points.
QUIZZES will be given from time to time, always announced during the preceding class. There will be approximately twelve quizzes during the semester, each of value ten points. Only your ten highest quizzes will count toward your grade. Each quiz covers one chapter or less.
TESTS: There will be two 100 point tests, each covering one unit. A final exam, also worth 100 points, will cover the entire course with emphasis on the third unit. You may prepare a list of formulas (but no class notes or worked out problems) to consult during each test. You may not use a formula sheet during quizzes however.
MISSED QUIZZES AND TESTS: Missed quizzes may not be made up, so it is your responsibility to take at least ten quizzes. If a test must be missed because of EMERGENCY reasons, notify me BY THE DAY OF THE TEST (773-481-8391). Be prepared to document your reason for absence. Under these conditions a makeup test will be given but the makeup may be more difficult than the test given to the class. Due to equipment and room availability problems, labs cannot be made up.
BONUS PROBLEMS will be assigned occasionally so that you may earn extra credit. These problems are optional.
ATTENDANCE: If you miss the first classes you will be dropped. If you miss classes just before midterm, you will be dropped. If you wish to withdraw from the class, it is your responsibility to do so officially by April 14. If you simply quit coming to class, you will receive a grade of F.
ASSISTANCE: Tutoring may be available in the
ON THE WEB The publishers of the textbook maintain a very helpful web site at http://wps.prenhall.com/esm_giancoli_physicsppa_6 It contains practice problems, interactive demonstrations, and links to interesting physics web sites. You can even search the entire web for information from this site. You will find this site useful if you need to take the MCAT test.
GRADING POLICY: Your final grade is determined as follows:
a) Calculate your cumulative score by adding the points you received on quizzes, tests, homework, lab reports, and bonus problems.
b) Calculate the base score by adding all the points you could have earned, but do not include bonuses.
c) Divide your cumulative score by the base score and convert to per cent.
d) Letter grades: A: 92%-100% B: 82%-92% C: 65%-81% D: 50%-64% F: 0-49%
Keep all papers that are returned to you. In the event of a suspected error about your grade you will need them to document your score. Also they are helpful when preparing for tests. I will keep a record of all students’ performance on the bulletin board. Be sure to check it frequently and report any discrepancies at once.
