INTRODUCTION
Satisfactory completion of this course earns the student four semester hours credit in
University Physics required by most colleges of students who plan to major in physics,
chemistry, certain fields of engineering and other majors which require a calculus-based

heat, energy, work, and the atomic structure of matter. Mastery of this course material
should give the student a working knowledge of some basic physical concepts and should aid
him in future courses by increasing his ability to analyze and solve problems logically.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
A.
Normally a grade of "C" or better must be earned for transfer to other colleges or
universities.
B.
A student begins to earn his final grade in the course with the first class meeting.
This grade will be determined by exam scores, class participation, initiative and
attendance.
C.
Preparation for the final exam also begins with the first class meeting. The final
exam will be comprehensive.
D.
The student should spend a minimum of two hours of study for each class period.
This time should not only be devoted to the completion of class assignments, but also
to the review of past material, correction of errors on past assignments, etc.
E.
The student is expected to take adequate lecture notes and to review them as soon as
possible after they are taken, not attempt to write every word, use key phrases and a
logical method of organization.
F.
The student should bring his/her textbook and all other necessary materials to each
class meeting.

NOTES AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM COURSE INSTRUCTOR
A.
Course Withdrawal: It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw from a
course if circumstances prevent attendance. Any student who desires to, or must,
officially withdraw from a course after the first scheduled class meeting must file a
Central Texas College Application for Withdrawal (CTC Form 59). The withdrawal
form must be signed by the student.
CTC Form 59 will be accepted at anytime prior to Friday of the 12th week of classes
during the 16-week fall and spring semesters. The deadline for sessions of other lengths:
10-week session
8-week session
5-week session
Friday of the 8th week
Friday of the 6th week
Friday of the 4th week
The equivalent date (75% of the semester) will be used for sessions of other lengths.
The specific last day to withdraw is published each semester in the Schedule Bulletin.
A student who officially withdraws will be awarded the grade of "W", provided the
student's attendance and academic performance are satisfactory at the time of official
withdrawal. Students must file a withdrawal application with the college before they
may be considered for withdrawal.
A student may not withdraw from a class for which the instructor has previously
issued the student a grade of "F" or "FN" for nonattendance.
B.
PHYS 2425
Administrative Withdrawal: An administrative withdrawal may be initiated when the
student fails to meet College attendance requirements. The instructor will assign the
appropriate grade on the Administrative Withdrawal Form for submission to the
registrar.

V.
C.
Incomplete Grade: The College catalog states, "An incomplete grade may be given
in those cases where the student has completed the majority of the course work but,
because of personal illness, death in the immediate family, or military orders, the
student is unable to complete the requirements for a course..." Prior approval from
the instructor is required before the grade of "I" for Incomplete is recorded. A
student who merely fails to show for the final examination will receive a zero for the
final and an "F" for the course.
D.
Cellular Phones And Beepers: Cellular phones and beepers will be turned off while
the student is in the classroom or laboratory.
E.
American’s With Disabilities Act (ADA): Disability Support Services provides
services to students who have appropriate documentation of a disability. Students
requiring accommodations for class are responsible for contacting the Office of
Disability Support Services (DSS) located on the central campus. This service is
available to all students, regardless of location. Review the website at
www.ctcd.edu/disability-support for further information. Reasonable
accommodations will be given in accordance with the federal and state laws
through the DSS office.
F.
Instructor Discretion: The instructor reserves the right of final decision in course
requirements.
G.
Civility: Individuals are expected to be cognizant of what a constructive educational
experience is and respectful of those participating in a learning environment. Failure
to do so can result in disciplinary action up to and including expulsion.
