This course is intended primarily for students who will require some competencein physics in their subsequent work. The main subjects covered during this semester willbe electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. The required textbook for thiscourse is College Physics, Seventh Edition Serway/Faughn, which was used last semesterin PHY 211.GoalsPhysics is the master science. The concepts and principles of physics are drawnupon by such other sciences as chemistry, biology, and geology in their exploration ofnarrower aspects of the universe around us. The same concepts and principles constitutethe foundations of engineering and have made possible the technologically advancedworld of today. Our goal is to help you learn some fundamentals of physics and see theworld through eyes that know physics. It requires your commitment, diligence andpersistence to reach this goal.Examinations and GradingThe course grade will be determined as follows:MAX. TOTALHomework LaboratoryQuizzesOne-Hour Exams (3x100)Final Exam200100100300200Total Points 900Letter grades A, B, C, D and E will be assigned based on your total score. Finalgrade distributions will depend on how well you have learned the materials. There are nopredetermined cutoffs, and it is not impossible for everyone to have an acceptable gradeso long as he or she makes serious efforts.Homework: The homework grade will be determined based on your homework score. Homework will be assigned in the Lecture (see assignment schedule). It will be collected in the beginning of the next Recitation. Your recitation instructor will grade it. Each assignment is graded for a maximum of 5 points. You will receive 3 points if you complete and turn in your homework in time. You will receive up to another 2 points based on one problem that is chosen at random and graded in detail. Your recitation instructor will review the assigned homework problems andunderlying concepts related to the homework in recitations after the homework issubmitted. 25% of problems of each exam will come from assigned homework problems.Quizzes: There will be a number of 10-minute quizzes given in recitations atrandom. These quizzes will cover underlying concepts learned in lectures. They will begraded by your recitation instructor.One-hour Exams: There will be three One-hour Exams for this course, each worth100 points. These exams will cover a limited, specified number of chapters. A formulasheet will be provided for the One-hour Exams. Final Exam: The two-hour Final Exam, worth 200 points, will be comprehensive,covering all material learned in this course. A formula sheet will be allowed for the FinalExam. Calculators will be permitted.If you have a question about the grading of an Exam and homework, you arewelcome to request a re-grade. If action needs to be taken on an Exam, please present inwriting an explanation within one week of the day the graded Exams have been returnedto the class. Lab Report queries should be handled through your Lab Instructor.An excused absence always requires a written request. It must be provided to theRecitation Instructor at least one week in advance, except for unexpected emergencies. Ifyou miss the Final Exam or two or more one-hour Exams with excused absences, youwill automatically receive an incomplete (“I” grade). You would have to complete thecourse in a subsequent semester. If you miss any Exam without an excused absence, youwill receive a 0 for the Exam. If you miss two or more one-hour Exams or Final Examwithout an excused absence you will automatically fail the course (“E” grade). Every testwill be photocopied. CollaborationYou are encouraged to collaborate on homework assignments but you shouldsolve your homework assignments on your own after having discussed the problems withclassmates. 2University StudiesPHY 213 belongs to the University Studies Program. The writing component ofthe University Studies will be satisfied through the clear, coherent, and orderlypresentation of the physics principles involved in your solutions to problems onhomework and Exams, using not only equations and numbers, but also words anddiagrams. In addition, answers must include correct units.Course EvaluationsCourse evaluations are an important and mandatory component of ourdepartment’s instructional management system. The on-line course evaluation systemwas developed to minimize the loss of classroom time and allow each student ample timeto evaluate each component of the course and the associated instructor, providingmeaningful numeric scores and detailed commentary. To access the system during thiswindow, simply go the Department of Physics Web page at www.pa.uky.edu and click onthe link for Course Evaluations then follow the instructions.3PHY213Assignment Schedule Spring 2008Note :Before each Lecture, please read the corresponding reading assignment.
