Textbooks
Essential Physics, by J.D. Cutnell & K.W. Johnson, John Wiely & Sons, Inc., 2006.
Prerequisites
PHY 151 or equivalent
Course Description
This course uses algebra and trigonometry-based mathematical models to introduce
the fundamental concepts that describe the physical world. Topics include
electrostatic forces, electric fields, electric potentials, direct-current circuits,
magneto-static forces, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, alternating-current
circuits, and light. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an
understanding of the principles involved and display analytical problem-solving
ability for the topics covered.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students should: 1) Become literate in the use of
terms and ideas of electricity and magnetism; 2) Be able to describe and apply the
laws and principles of electricity and magnetism; 3) Be able to solve problems using
the above laws and principles using algebra and trigonometry; 4) Become proficient
in the laboratory techniques of measurement and analysis of electrical and magnetic
quantities; and 5) Have developed the ability to describe principles and procedures
clearly and briefly in carefully written reports.
Course Requirements
The course will consist of 2 tests, 1 final exam, homework, and a lab. The lab is
worth 300 points. Homework counts for 200 points. Tests will be 150 points
each, and the final will be worth 200 points for a total of 1000 points.
Grading Policy
A = 900 to 1000 points
B = 800 to below 900
C = 700 to below 800
D = 600 to below 700
F = 599 and below
Calculators
Students will need to use a scientific calculator for homework, tests, and the exam.
Graphing calculators and calculators with memory that have the capability of
storing information will not be permitted for use during the tests and the exams.
It is recommended that you bring your text and a calculator to class in the event that
problems are worked in class.
Attendance Policy
You are expected to attend all the lectures, tests and final exam. If you have to miss
an exam because of illness or other circumstances beyond your control, notify the
instructor before the exam so that alternative arrangements can be made.
Make-up policy
No make up policy. If scheduling a test is a problem then arrangement should be
made to take the test in advance of the testing date.
Final Exam
There will be a comprehensive final exam given during the scheduled final exam
period on Tuesday May 9, 2006 from 6:00-8:30 PM. The exam will be
comprehensive of all of the material in the course. The final exam is required for all
students.
Additional Information from the Instructor
Emails must have a subject. The subject line for physics 152 is phy152. Please use
your CPCC assigned email address to communicate with your instructor.
Special Services Certifications
Students who have a documented disability or who may think they may have a
learning problem may contact the Office of Services for Students with disAbilities.
Instructors will provide the necessary accommodations upon the advice of the Office
of Services for Students with disAbilities.
Academic Integrity Policy and Student Conduct
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and orderly educational
environment for students and staff. Therefore, when in the judgment of College
officials, a student’s conduct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College community,
appropriate disciplinary action will be taken to restore and protect the well being of
the community.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with generally accepted
standards of scholarship and morality. The College expects all students to obey the
law, to show respect for properly constituted authority, to perform contractual
obligations, to show regard for the property of other persons and the College, to
maintain absolute integrity and high standards of individual honor in scholastic work,
and to observe high standards of behavior that are appropriate for a democratic
educational environment in which the rights of others are respected.
The purpose of the Student Code of Conduct is not to restrict student rights but to
protect the rights of individuals in their academic pursuits. (The complete Student
Code of Conduct may be found in the Student Handbook, which may be accessed at
the following internet address.)

Withdrawal policy
When a student determines that he/she will be unable to complete courses in which
he/she is currently enrolled, it is the student's responsibility to initiate procedures
leading to a formal withdrawal ("W") in order to avoid a failing ("F") grade. To
receive a "W" grade, a student must withdraw before the last 25% of the academic
term. Final dates for withdrawing from a course will be announced in CPCC's Class
Listing Schedule and Telephone Registration Information. The instructor may also
assign "W" at other times when circumstances warrant such action. A "W" will
remain on the transcript and will not count as credit hours attempted. To receive
credit, a student who received a "W" must re-register and pay for the course in a
subsequent term. Financial aid recipients need to refer to the financial aid satisfactory
progress policy to determine if schedule adjustments will affect financial aid.
