Another website of interest is www.worldview.notlong.com E-MAIL [email protected] TEXTS Physics A World View 5th ed. Kirkpatrick Francis, Problem solving for Physics: A World View 5 th ed. CALCULATOR A calculator is required for this course and knowledge of how to use it. You must know how to input numbers in scientific notation into the calculator, that means using the EE button. COURSE DESCRIPTION A lecture-demonstration course covering electricity, magnetism, light, optics, and modern physics. PREREQUISITE Two years of high school algebra, MT 122, Applied Math or equivalent math background. A familiarity with the metric system and how to convert metric units. COURSE OBJECTIVES Study concepts, applications and problem solving methods in the topics listed in the course description. GRADES Grades will be based on exams, homework and a COMPREHENSIVE final. If a test is missed due to an emergency, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor. FINAL The Final is COMPREHENSIVE and counts as two exams. The exams and final are grouped together to account for 90% of the grade. HOMEWORK Some problems from the SOFTCOVER book will be turned in for Homework. Be careful.

GRADING WEIGHTS Exams 90% Homework 10% ATTENDANCE POLICY You are expected to attend class and spend at least three hours a week going over power points and mindmaps provided by the instructor on line. The power points contain practice problems which you are expected to do even though you do not turn them in for a grade. If you miss class, the lecture material can be viewed on the internet at www.kyvu.org. WITHDRAWAL POLICY March 6 is the last day for students, at their discretion, to officially withdraw from class and receive a grade of W.

PHYSICS 152 SYLLABUS SPRING 2006 GENERAL EDUCATION COMPETENCIES 1) To demonstrate an awareness of one’s interactions with the physical world - course specific (Science). 2) To communicate effectively using standard written English to answer conceptual essay questions - general education (Writing). 3) To analyze summarize and interpret reading material - general education (Reading). 4) To elaborate upon knowledge and to create new thoughts, processes and/or brainstorm general education (Creative Thinking). 5) To demonstrate an awareness of ethical considerations in making value choices and the consequences of value choices - general education (Ethics/Values). 6) Integrated Learning: (To think critically and make connections in learning across the disciplines). Students will be required to analyze and synthesize new information and apply theories to solve problems. TENTATIVE SCHEDULE Homework problems are found in the accompanying softcover Problem solving for Physics: A World View. Don’t do your homework in the hardcover textbook. That is just for reading.
