They allow you to meet together in a small group to ask questions, discuss lecture material, discuss assigned homework problems,etc. The assigned homework problems are intended to test your understanding of the course material. It is very important that you work out the solutions to each problem and understand clearly the correct method of solution. Your solutions will not be collected, but in general, examination problems will often be similar to the homework problems. Quiz instructors, by using a few examples, are there to help students to understand the assigned problems and to learn problem solving skills. They may not do all theassigned problems in details. It is student’s responsibility to work on all the assigned problems. Quiz instructors will take attendance and give unannounced short quizzes. Quiz instructor will give each student up to 10 bonus points based on student’s attendance and performance on quizzes.Week Assigned Homework Problems 1 Ch. 15 – C 2, 4; P 1, 4, 9, 10, 13, 17, 23, 27 2 Ch. 15 – P 28, 33, 39, 43Ch. 16 – C 1, 5, 7; P 1, 5, 9, 11, 13, 14, 21 3 Ch. 16 – P 22, 25, 29, 31, 35, 43Ch. 17 – C 8, 10; P 1, 3, 8 4 Ch. 17 – P 11, 15, 27, 33, 36, 42Ch. 18 – C 14, 19, 21 5 Ch. 18 – P 1, 8, 31, 40Ch. 19 – C 7, 15; P 2, 3, 4, 6 6 Ch. 19 – P 11, 15, 18, 22, 24, 30, 31, 34, 37, 38, 45, 48 7 Ch. 20 – C 18, 19; P 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 15, 17 8 Ch. 20 – P 18, 23, 28, 35, 44, 48 9 Ch. 21 – P 2, 3, 11, 15, 18, 28, 31, 33, 39, 47 10 Ch. 26 – P 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 17, 22, 29 11 Ch. 27 – P 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 14, 21 12 Ch. 27 – P 29, 33, 39, 42 13 Ch. 28 – P 1, 7, 13, 15, 19, 31, 33, 37, 40, 45 14 Ch. 29 – P 1, 5, 7, 9, 15, 16, 25, 33, 39, 4615 Ch. 30 – P 3, 7, 10, 15, 22GRADING: Your course grades will be determined by your performance in the three HOUR EXAMS, FINAL EXAM, and Quiz Bonus as follows:1st HOUR EXAM 20 points2nd HOUR EXAM 20 points3rd HOUR EXAM 20 pointsFINAL EXAM 40 pointsQuiz Bonus 10 pointsTotal 110 pointsA: 85 – 110 points B: 70 – 84 points C: 50 – 69 points D: 40 – 49 pointsPlus and minus grades will be assigned to students near the boundary between two grades.A Special Note: No make-up exam will be given for any of the scheduled HOUR EXAMS. However, there is no penalty for missing only one of the three HOUR EXAMS. If a student misses an additional Hour Exam, a zero mark will be used for that exam to compute his/her total exam score. His/her total exam score will be adjusted by a factor of 100/80. A student may be allowed to take a make-up FINAL EXAM in case of a true emergency. However, permission should be obtained from the lecturer prior to oron the day of the Final.LABORATORY: PHY 2141 is the laboratory portion of PHY 2140. It is a co-requisite and, thus, is mandatory for you to be enrolled in both courses concurrently. However, laboratory is treated as a separate part of the course with its own grades and procedures which will be explained by your laboratoryinstructor. The experiments provide tangible demonstration and reinforcement of the ideas presented in this course. In addition, the laboratory is meant to show the importance of experiments in science. Your Laboratory Manual is to be purchased separately at Barnes and Noble Bookstore (on campus).Lab Coordinator: Dr. J. Scott Payson Office: Room 166, Physics Research BuildingTelephone Number: (313)
