Methods of Instruction:
Lecture combined with laboratory instruction will be used throughout the course. Lecture may contain
demonstrations, problem solving alone and in groups and discussions. Laboratory will include a short lecture
explaining the day’s particular experiment (although the student should have read the lab beforehand),
conducting relevant experiments in small groups and beginning the lab report to be handed in by the end of lab if
time allows.

Students should print out the lab before coming to class.
Calculator: Any Scientific Calculator. For classroom use calculators will be provided. It is mandatory to use the
calculator provided by the department for tests.
VIII. Methods of Evaluating Student Progress:
The student is expected to submit ten laboratory reports. There will be fifteen homeworks, three classroom
tests, ten quizzes. There is NO comprehensive final examination. All the tests and quizzes will be based on
chapters taught in class and experiments done in the lab-classes.
Grading scale
A: 90 – 100%
B: 80 – 89%

Course Practices Required:
1. HOMEWORKS: @www.masteringphysics.com. consists of problems assigned from the end of each
chapter. These problems represent a minimum in the number of problems you should attempt. Just
doing these problems and nothing more is no guarantee of success in this course. Homework will not
be accepted late!
2. LABS: You need to submit ten lab-reports during the course of the semester. Due date for lab reports is
the subsequent lab class after they are performed. Late laboratory reports will receive half credit. Reports
more than one week late will NOT be graded.
Only 1 make-up or late lab allowed. Late labs must be completed within one week after the
scheduled lab date.
3. The QUIZZES will comprise of short objective questions to test your conceptual clarity. There are NO
make-up quizzes. The 8 best scores will be considered towards your final score. Since quizzes may be
given at the beginning of class, you are expected to come to class on time. If you are late, extended time
will not be provided.
4. The student is responsible for any class missed.
5. There are no make-up test or late tests allowed due to the short duration of the semester.
6. Keep all papers that are returned to you. In the event of a suspected error about your grade you will need
them to document your score. Also they are helpful when preparing for tests.
7. Units are very important in Physics. Make sure you use proper units when solving problems and in lab
reports. You miss a unit, you loose points.
Changes to syllabus may be made when deemed appropriate by the instructor.
Additional items of Note:
Please switch off your cell-phones before entering class. Food is NOT allowed inside the classroom. No
hats/caps or cell phones allowed during tests and quizzes. You will not be allowed to step outside the classroom
during a test or quiz (a.k.a. no restroom usage). Students found to be disturbing/distracting the class will be
asked to leave the classroom. Tardiness is not acceptable.

Academic Integrity:
Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow
Oakton’s Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:








cheating,
plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
helping others to cheat,
unauthorized changes on official documents,
pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you,
making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and
any other behavior that violates academic integrity.
There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton’s policies and procedures
provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the
minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the
office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years. Details of the Code of Academic Conduct
can be found in the Student Handbook.

XI. Other Information:
If you have a documented learning, psychological, or physical disability, you may be entitled to reasonable academic
accommodations or services. To request accommodations or services, contact the Access and Disability Resource
Center in the Learning Center. All students are expected to fulfill essential course requirements. The College will not
waive any essential skill or requirement of a course or degree program.
