Advice
Homeworks will be regularly assigned, but will not be graded. Quizzes will be
primarily based on homeworks, so doing homeworks will help you better prepare for quizzes.
There will be about seven quizzes (20% of the final grade combined with Mastering Physics).
Each quiz date will be announced one class in advance.
Three one-hour exams (30% of final grade)
and Final two-hour exam (20% of final grade)
(30% of final grade)
Makeup will be given only for emergency. It should be arranged in writing within 24 hours.
No make-ups for labs & activities.
This course covers lots of materials and requires certain proficiency of algebra.
So the best way to do well in this class is to study regularly.
Read your textbook before and after each class; do your homeworks.
Seek help before it is too late.
Do NOT miss classes.
