Physics, vol. 2, 4th Edition, James S. Walker (Pearson Addison-Wesley)
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 (except for clickers) are permitted in the
classroom.
- All absences (excused or not) must be cleared by TUE., Dec. 04/2012.
- 1 absence = -2% points.
- You clear your absences by being present in class twice the number of
missed classes.
- EXAMPLE: By Nov. 01, you have accumulated 2 absences. You clear
those by attending class on Nov. 06, 08, 13, and 15.
- All students are required to attend LABS.
- Students who are not assigned a lab grade due to non-attendance will
automatically receive a failing grade (“F”) for the course.
- There will be three (3) midterm exams on selected chapters.
- Final replaces the worst of the midterm exams.
- No makeups or re-scheduling permitted.
- One (1) standard sheet of paper 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.
- Must work individually.

Grading policy:
-
A simple (non-graphing, non-symbolic, non-programmable) scientific
calculator.
- No other electronic device(s) permitted.
- Must work individually.
If you miss the final exam, you may be assigned an “I” (incomplete) in
accordance with the UGA Regulations, 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 one midterm exam,
- you received a non-failing grade (> 70%) on at least three homework
assignments,
- 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.
-2% EACH ABSENCE (excused or not) must be cleared as described above
5% HMWK (no makeup; must be completed online before the deadline)
25% LABS (attendance mandatory; see above for details)
15% EXAM 1 (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given)
15% EXAM 2 (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given)
15% EXAM 3 (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given)
25% FINAL (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given;
raw score replaces the worst of the 3 midterm exams, if it is better)
Cut-offs:
How to do well in this class:
100% TOTAL (minus twice the number of absences)
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.
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 retaking it at a later time.
