Methods of Instruction:
Lecture combined with laboratory instruction will be used throughout the course. Lecture will 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, discussing questions provided by the instructor or included in the lab manual, and beginning
the lab report to be handed in by the end of lab if time allows.

There will be NO comprehensive final examination.
Out of the 9 quizzes, the 8 best scores will be accounted for in the total points.
Each lab report is due the subsequent lab class. You are expected to submit 10 lab reports throughout the semester.
Late Lab reports will NOT be accepted under any circumstances other than medical emergencies (doctor’s note required).
Quizzes gauge your level of comprehension of the subject matter during the lecture/ problem solving sessions. Pay particular attention to these
sessions and make sure you understand them. Otherwise ask questions!!!
There are NO make-up labs, quiz or test. You are expected to come to class on time. Class activity may be held at the beginning of class. If you are
late, extended time will not be provided.
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.

Attendance will be taken twice each class: at the beginning (6.15 p.m.) and at the end of class period. You earn 2 points for each day
you are present. Please try to be present for all the classes; there is scope for earning 8 extra points !!!


The student is responsible for any class missed.
Units are very important in Physics. Make sure you use proper units when solving problems in tests and in lab reports. If you miss a unit, you will loose
points.
Changes to syllabus may be made when deemed appropriate by the instructor.

Please switch off your cell-phones and beepers before entering class. Food is NOT allowed during the class. Drinks maybe allowed. No hats/caps or
cell phones allowed during tests and quizzes. 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.

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 ASSIST office in Instructional Support Services. 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. Limited tutoring services are available through the Learning Center.
