Physics (sixth edition) by Cutnell & Johnson. You only need volume II if you used volume I for PHY 101. The book is available at the College
Bookstore on Maple Street. We chose
this bookstore because of unsatisfactory service at the University Bookstore on
campus.
It
is highly recommended, and it may also be a requirement for your major, that
PHY 152 be taken at the same time. A separate grade will be given for PHY 152
by the lab instructor.
Problems
are assigned for each week to be handed in at 5:00 p.m. (the dates are
indicated on the following page) in a drop-box in the main office of the
Physics Department (Fronczak 239).
Assignments not handed in on time will not be accepted. The assigned problems represent a minimum. You are advised to do additional problems on
your own and to consult with the Instructor or the Teaching Assistants in case
of difficulty. All office hours of the
instructor and the TAs are intended to help you with the course material and
homework assignments. They are
effective for gaining a clearer understanding with less time.
Examinations 1st
Exam Friday, Feb. 27 (5:00
– 7:00 p.m., NSC 201 & 225, check course website)
2nd
Exam Friday,
Apr. 2 (5:00-7:00 p.m., NSC 201 & 225, check course website)
Final
Exam To
be announced
All
exams are closed-book. You can, however, bring one formula sheet (any formulas and constants
that you wish to write on it). No
other written or printed materials are allowed.
The
only acceptable excuse for missing an exam is sickness at the time of the
exam (certified by a doctor) or a major emergency.
The instructor should be informed before the end of the day after the
exam (call the Physics Main Office, 645-2017, if necessary).
No make-up exam will be given if the instructor is not notified two
days after the scheduled exam.
All
exams consist of problems similar in style to those in homework assignments.
Exams will be graded and returned to you, and solutions will be posted. You may request regrading of your exam within
one week after it has been returned to you. The request should be given to the instructor in person and consists of a written note
specifying which problems you wish regraded and why you believe these problems
were incorrectly graded. Only one
regrade request is allowed per exam. Exams
that have been tampered with or altered in any way will result in an automatic
F for the course. Graded exams will
be photocopied at random.
Grading The
final grade will be computed as follows:

An Incomplete can only be requested by students

final exam and are unable to finish the course with legitimate
reasons. No request will be accepted
after the final exam.
If you have a disability of any kind that would require special accommodations, please contact the Office of Disability Services, 25 Capen Hall, 645-2608, and also inform the instructor (optional) during the first two weeks of class.
Attendance Attendance
will be taken on randomly picked dates for the Bonus points listed under Grading.
Chapter and problem numbers refer to the textbook by Cutnell & Johnson, 6th edition. Solutions to the homework problems can be found when clicking on the entries in the 1st column in the table.
