Knight (Pearson Addison-Wesley) None As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University’s academic honesty policy, “A Culture of Honesty,” and the Student Honor Code. All academic work must meet the standards described in “A Culture of Honesty” found at: www.uga.edu/honesty. Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor. No laptops, pagers, cellphones, iPads, iPods, or any other electronic/communication devices are permitted in the classroom. If you are late for class, you must enter in the back of the room. Optional Labs begin the week of January 25-29. Attendance mandatory. Students who are not assigned a lab grade due to non-attendance will automatically receive a failing grade (“F”) for the course. May be found here: http://www.physast.uga.edu/courses Your homework assignments will be posted and automatically graded on LONCAPA*, http://spock.physast.uga.edu *Users will be added after the drop/add period ends. After that, it will be your responsibility to keep track of the HMWK deadlines. In case you can’t log into LON-CAPA: Read the "Log-in Help" link on the main login page, and/or the "Student FAQ". There are several possible causes outlined on those pages, including: Is your UGA password expired? Check to see whether you can log in to eLC or DegreeWorks or Athena. Sometimes UGA servers expire student passwords for some services and not others. Therefore, your first step should almost always be to reset your UGA password on myid.uga.edu. Have you tried quitting your browser and restarting it? Have you tried a different browser (Chrome vs. Firefox, for example)? Have you tried a different computer? Disabling browser add-ons and extensions sometimes helps. There are some add-ons that don't always play well with login pages. Homework rules: Exams: Midterm exam rules: Incompletes: Grading policy: No make-ups. Collaboration OK. There will be three (3) midterm exams on selected chapters, and one (1) final optional cumulative exam. No make-ups or re-scheduling permitted. One (1) standard sheet containing anything you want (e.g., physical constants, formulae, diagrams, problem solutions, etc.), all handwritten. You may write on both sides. A simple (non-graphing, non-symbolic, non-programmable) scientific calculator. No other electronic device(s) permitted. I rarely assign “Incompletes.” When I do*, it is in accordance with the UGA policy, provided all of the following applies: You received a non-failing grade in all attempted labs (> 70%); You received a non-failing grade (> 70%) on at least two midterm exams; No violation of the Academic Honesty Policy took place in the course of the semester. *You must remove the “I’’ by the end of the semester subsequent to its assignment. 15% HMWK (no make-up; must be completed on LON-CAPA before the deadline) 25% LABS (attendance mandatory; see above for details) 20% EXAM 1 (no partial credit; no re-scheduling) 20% EXAM 2 (no partial credit; no re-scheduling) 20% EXAM 3 (no partial credit; no re-scheduling) 20% EXAM 4 (final, optional, cumulative; no partial credit; no re-scheduling) Cut-offs: The worst of the four exam grades will be dropped. __________________________________________________________ 100% TOTAL = 15% HMWK + 25% LABS + 60% EXAMS F: [0, 60) D: [60, 68) C-: [68, 70) C: [70, 75) C+: [75, 78 ) B-: [78, 80) B: [80, 85) B+: [85, 88) A-: [88, 90) A: [90, 100] NOTE: No rounding; 89.99 = A-, etc. Grades: How to do well in this class: Tutors: Your grades will be posted on eLC-New, http://elcnew.uga.edu 1. Read each chapter before it is discussed in class. 2. Attend every lecture. 3. Participate actively in discussions. 4. Re-read chapter carefully after class. 5. Do assigned homework. 6. Solve as many end-of-chapter problems as possible. 7. Concepts first. Do NOT plug-and-chug. 8. Use a buddy system: find a friend with whom to discuss physics. 9. Think about physics on a regular basis. 10. If everything fails, consider dropping the class before the deadline and re-taking it at a later time. Tutors are available either for free through the UGA Tutoring Program at Milledge Hall, http://tutor.uga.edu, or for pay through the Physics Department, http://www.physast.uga.edu/tutors. NOTE: In physics, learning can be frustrating and nonlinear. Often you have to work for a long time (many days and even weeks) without feeling that you are making much progress. Then, suddenly, everything falls into place and it all makes sense. But until the “click,” you can’t be sure how much time you need to “get it” and it’s difficult to plan… As you solve a physics problem, stop and ask yourself: What (exactly) are you doing? Why are you doing it? How does it help you?
