COLLEGE OF NATURAL SCIENCES & MATHEMATICS HTTP://NSM.UH.EDU COURSE TITLE/SECTION: Physics 1302 Introductory General Physics II/Class Number 13359 TIME: MW 1-2.30pm (for Section 13359) and 4-5.30pm (for Section 19172) LOCATION: SR116 FACULTY: Mini Das OFFICE HOURS: MW 2.15pm-3pm and 5.15pm-6pm (Starting January 19th) E-mail: [email protected] Phone: (713) 743-#### FAX: (713) 743-3589 Mastering Physics access required for Homework (See last page of this file for details) Course ID for registering on Mastering Physics: das29561 Modified Mastering Physics for Walker , Physics Technology Update, 4/e. (Walker 4/e without technology update should also work in case you have it from the last semester). PLEASE CHECK OUT BLACKBOARD FOR ALL INFORMATIONS/DISCUSSIONS (Homework is on Mastering Physics - all other contents on blackboard – See “Contents”) I. Course: Physics 1302 - Introductory General Physics II A. Catalog Description: Electromagnetism and modern physics. B. Prerequisites: PHYS 1301. Primarily for majors other than physics and engineering. Credit may not be applied toward a degree for PHYS 1302 and University Physics II, PHYS 1322. II. Course Learning Objectives: The objective of this course is to learn the principles of electromagnetism and modern physics. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. comprehend and apply laws such as Gauss’ law, Coulomb’ laws and Kirchoff’s law; 2. be able to apply basic physics laws to solve real life problems; 3. to develop the processes of logical thinking and reasoning. Other learning outcomes include: 1. Students completing this course will be able to convey knowledge of the basics principles of physics and be able to use these principles to solve elementary problems. 2. Students will be able to take a real life problem and use physical principles and basic mathematical tools to describe the problem. 3. Student will have the ability to communicate orally and in writing in a clear concise manner the concepts of Physics.III. Course Content: This course will cover chapters 16-32 which includes the following topical areas: 1. Electric Charge, Forces and Fields 2. Electric Potential and Potential Energy 3. Electric Current and DC Circuits 4. Magnetism and Faraday’s law 5. Electromagnetic Waves 6. Optics 7. Quantum and Atomic Physics 8. Thermal Physics IV. Course Structure: The web address for the class is: Notes and other course materials will be uploaded on blackboard. Please make it a practice to check the following sections on blackboard regularly: Contents, Discussions. Active participation in discussion board is recommended. V. Textbooks Physics, 4th Edition, James S. Walker. Binder version with access code to Mastering Physics is available at the UH bookstore. VI. Course Requirements A. (Optional) Warm up Assignments: Reading quizzes covering the material from the reading assignment, consisting of 2-3 questions/problems, will be assigned over Blackboard for each chapter. The quizzes will be available at least 24 hours before they are due and they will be due by the beginning of the lecture time. There will be a time limit for taking the quiz and you will be allowed 2 attempts for each quiz. Solutions for the quizzes will be discussed during the lecture and will be posted on the class website. B. Written Assignments: (See Pearson Mastering Physics for HW assignments) 10 or more homework problems will be assigned at the beginning of each chapter and will be due approximately one week from that date. Late homework is only accepted with a valid excuse. (www.pearsonmastering.com) C. Exams: There will be three regular exams and a final exam for a total of four exams for the course. Please note exam times in the syllabus. No exceptions will be made for missing an exam – unless it is an emergency such as illness/accident/death in family.Should notify instructor within 24 hours and bring some proof for allowing a re-test. Multiple choice questions: 10-20. The final exam will be comprehensive covering all chapters covered for the course. The format of the final exam will be similar to that of a regular exam. This exam will be given during the University Departmental exam scheduled time. There are no makeup exams for this course. The lowest exam score will be replaced by the final exam score if the final exam score is higher. D. Teamwork Component: A team-work component will be evaluated in this course by one or both of the following methods (to be decided within first few weeks of the class) described below: Quiz in class – can be worked in groups. Discussion board participation/project participation in peer mentoring program VII. Evaluation and Grading 5% Teamwork Component (see above) 10% Homework 20% Regular Exam I (Friday February 26th, 5.30pm) 20% Regular Exam II (Friday April 1st, 5.30pm) 20% Regular Exam III (Friday April 29, 5.30pm) 25% Final Exam (Saturday May 7th, starts at 8-11 am) Policy on grades of I (Incomplete): The grade of "I" (Incomplete) is a conditional and temporary grade given when a student, for reasons beyond his or her control, has not completed a relatively small portion of all requirements. Sufficiently serious, documented situations include illness, death in the family, etc. VIII. Consultation My office is located in SR1 419. My mailbox is located in the Physic office, room 617 in Science and Research # 1. My office hour will be MW 2.15pm-3pm and 5.15pm-6pm starting January 20th 2016(email: [email protected]). In order to optimize my time, I also prefer to answer some questions on discussion board (on blackboard) so that it can benefit more students at once. IX. Bibliography References: Physics, Algebra/Trig, Eugene Hecht; Fundamentals of Physics, Halliday, Resnick, and Walker; The Feynman Lectures on Physics, R. Feynman, R.B. Leighton, and M. Sands Addendum: Whenever possible, and in accordance with 504/ADA guidelines, the University of Houston will attempt to provide reasonable academic accommodations to students who request and require them. Please call 713-743-5400 for more assistance. Academic Honesty: It is each student’s responsibility to read and understand the Academic Honesty Policy
