Office Hours: Just after class, 3-4pm MWF, & by appointment. Web page: http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~cmyles/Email: [email protected]. An email distribution list will be developed & we can have email discussions. I make important announcements by email! It’s vital that I have your correct email address, that you tell me ifit changes, & that you check your email DAILY!Course Meets: Noon – 1:50pm, Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., and Fri., Sc. Rm 010. NOTE: The weekend doesn’t start Thurs. evening or end Mon. evening! Fri. & Mon. are class days & NOT weekend days!Class Web Page: http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~cmyles/Phys1408/1408.html. Under construction! There, you’ll find: InWord format: a. This Syllabus. b. A Lab Syllabus. c. Help Resources. d. Fall’07 Phys. 1408 Exams/Quizzes (. jpg solutions). e. Phys, 1403 Exams/Quizzes (. jpg solutions) from several years. Also, f. Lectures in Power Point format. g. Important Announcements. h. Link to Mastering Physics on-line homework. i. Other helpful links. j. Other important items about this class. Please get into the habit of checking this page often!TTU students can get Power Point, Word, & other software free or almost free! See http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~cmyles/Phys1306/PPT.txt.Laboratory Co-Requisite: You must be enrolled concurrently in a section of 1408 (no-credit) Lab!Textbook: Douglas C. Giancoli, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, (Pearson, 2008). I use the 4th Ed. The 3rd Ed might be ok. But, examples & problem numbers may have changed from the 3rd to the 4th Ed!Course Topics: Topics (selected), Chs. 1-16 of text. Detailed coverage announced as we go.Course Objectives: Survey of 1st semester Physics (mechanics, fluids, waves). In this course, you’ll learn: 1. How to use Newton’s laws to solve problems with static & dynamic bodies. 2. How to use conservation of energy & linear & angular momentum to solve problems. 3. How to represent wave motion & to solve problemsabout sound propagation.STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES: Attend as many classes as possible, come to class prepared, do the homework, read the material BEFORE I lecture over it, & keep up as we go along! Course Level & Assumed Math Level: Level: Standard (nationwide) introductory physics level. Math Co-Requisite: You MUST be enrolled concurrently in (or have already taken) Calculus I (TTU Math 1351, or equivalent)! A thorough knowledge of Algebra & Trig (or Pre-Calculus) is assumed! This ISN'T a math course! It's is not my job to teach you math & there is no time for this!! I must assume that you know it! Major problems students have with this course are the fast pace & the math.Grades, Exams & TENTATIVE (!!!) Exam Schedule. The Lecture Part of your Grade is based on:Exam I 20% of grade Chapters 1-4 (??) Wed., July 16 Exam II 20% of grade Chapters 5-8 (??) Wed., July 23 Exam III 20% of grade Chapters 9-13 (??) Wed., July 30Final Exam 40% of grade Comprehensive (incl. Chs. 14-16??) 8:00-10:30am, Thurs., Aug. 7!!!Homework 20% of grade On-line! (See discussion below!) Friday Quizzes. Part of homework grade. Equal weight to one problem set. (See discussion below!)Make-up Exams & Drop Policy: NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN!! Exceptions: Medical problems with Dr.’s excuse, absences on TTU business, & true personal/family emergencies (decided case-by-case). The lowest exam grade (excluding the Final!) will be dropped. The Homework grade will NOT be dropped! Homework: On-line homework problem sets will be assigned for each chapter with deadlines shortly after wefinish a chapter. Problems will be worked & graded on-line through the Mastering Physics website. Doingproblems is the most effective means of learning physics, which is impossible without working problems!Once you are registered at Mastering Physics, you’ll be able to see assignments. You’ll be able to get answers after due dates. Pay attention to instructions on Mastering Physics about how homework is scored. You may be able to find solutions to homework on the internet or elsewhere. If so, try to solve a problem first without looking at the solutions. Copying solutions will not help you learn physics! Instructions on how to access Mastering Physics are on a separate sheet. Note that this site isn’t at TTU, so you should give yourself plenty of time for submitting answers before the deadlines; sometimes the network can be slow or down. Quizzes: To encourage attendance & try to prevent the large attendance decreases seen in previous semesters, especially Fridays, a short (~10 min.) Quiz will be given EACH FRI., with questions on Physical Concepts & simple problems similar to those assigned. The quiz percent will be averaged with the homework grade & will be equal in weight to one homework set. Quizzes/Solutions from Fall’07 are on the Phys. 1408 Quiz Page:http://www.phys.ttu.edu/%7Ecmyles/Phys1408/quizzes.html. It was a different book, but the material was the same asin our book & the style/content of those is typical of my Quizzes. Examples of my Quiz style/content can also be found on my Phys. 1403 Quiz Page: http://www.phys.ttu.edu/%7Ecmyles/Phys1306/quizzes.html, where many Quizzes/Solutions are posted. (1403 is like 1408, but with no calculus). Note that I've used on-line Homework only recently. Before this, my Quizzes were longer. My current Quiz style/content are between my Phys. 1403 Phys. Quizzes, & my Phys. 1403 Reading Quizzes: http://www.phys.ttu.edu/%7Ecmyles/Phys1306/rquizzes.html. You're strongly encouraged to form study groups to study for quizzes together! This is how professionals work in real life! Try to solve old Quizzes BEFORE looking at the solutions. You CAN'T LEARN PHYSICS by copying solutions!Attendance: I don’t take roll & have no specific attendance policy. But, isn’t it obvious that (unless you’re a genius!)class attendance is required to get a good grade? The reason for Fri. Quizzes is to encourage attendance. Skipping also costs you money! TTU tuition & fees for full-time (Texas) students total about $226.10 per credit hour. So, for the lecture
