Reading Assignment: The text material that will be covered in class each day is listed on the Class schedule. You should read the indicated sections in the textbook before coming to class. Note that we will cover one or two chapters of the text every week. Solutions of some illustrative examples will be presented in lecture. You can try them before coming to class! Some of the reading assignments may be changed in order to incorporate elements of modern physics, such as special theory of relativity and analytical dynamics. Homework: Homework problems are taken from the textbook and selected problems (those underlined) will be collected on the days that are announced in class. In addition, students will be able to use WebAssign to practice solving homework problems online. You will need the Passcard that comes with your textbook. If you have purchased a used text, you will be able to purchase access to WebAssign online. In addition to the listed problem assignments, more difficult calculus-based problems will be assigned. Look for announcements on Blackboard! Grades: Student performance will be based on the following components: exams (3 midterms + final) 75% homework assignments 5% lab reports (7) 10% Weekly quizzes 10% Note that attendance will be taken at every class. Also, class participation is essential. Exams: There will be three midterm exams (80 min.) and a final exam (140 min.) that counts the same as two midterm exams. No exam grades will be dropped and no make-ups will be given except in the case of documented illness. Labs: The Physics Department Lab manual is available on line at http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/physics/LabMan/. There are seven labs to be completed during the semester; Lab reports must be submitted at the beginning of the following lab period. Note that the grade of incomplete (I) will be assigned for Physics 20700 if all seven lab reports have not been submitted by the required dates. Extra help: Students can obtain extra help in this course by meeting with me either during my office hours in MR423B or at other mutually agreeable times. Drop-in tutoring for this course will be available and a math/physics tutoring lab can be found in MR418S. You are encouraged and expected to take advantage of all of these opportunities. Effort required: Don’t underestimate the amount of effort required for you to succeed in this course. Many students, in particular those who have not taken a previous course in physics, will need to spend 5-10 hours per week, every week, studying physics and doing the assigned homework problems, in addition to the time spent in lecture, recitation and lab (7 hours per week).
