TEXTBOOK: Physics - Principles with Applications, 7th Edition, Douglas C. Giancoli, 2014.
RECITATION: Recitation classes meet on Thursday. Registration in a recitation class is required.
Homework for the week is due at the start of recitation. Recitation class focuses on preparation for the
following week’s homework assignment. Your recitation instructor will be available to answer questions.
Before each recitation class, it is recommended that you review the textbook readings and your lecture
notes. There is recitation the first week of class. Sign the attendance sheet.
HOMEWORK: The homework assignment for each recitation class is listed on the next page. Your
homework, neatly written with pages stapled together, is due at the start of the recitation class. Show your
work and underline or box in your answers. No late homework will be accepted. Answers will be posted
on the second floor of Fawcett Hall during the week following their due date. Selected parts of each
homework will be graded. Missing homework will receive a grade of zero. One homework grade will be
dropped.
LABORATORY: Concurrent registration in, or previous completion of, PHY 1120L is required. See
Mr. William Wagner, Laboratory Director (239 Fawcett) or your lab TA about questions related to the
laboratory class. The laboratory is a co-requisite that is managed and graded independently from the lecture
class.
QUIZ: A quiz on the reading assignments will be administered each week via Pilot. The quizzes are to be
completed by 11:00am each Monday, unless otherwise noted on the next page. You will receive a grade of
zero for any quiz that you miss. One quiz grade will be dropped. If you have any problems with your
account or Pilot let me know BEFORE that quiz is due. Quizzes are open book.
EXAMINATIONS: Five exams will be administered as listed in the schedule. The first four are 55 minutes
in duration and are held during a regular class period. The fifth exam, an optional comprehensive exam, is
administered during the two hour final exam period. Questions will be based on the assigned sections of the
textbook, the lectures, on-line quizzes, and the homework assignments. You will receive a grade of zero for
any scheduled exam that you miss.
The optional comprehensive fifth exam covers all material for the class. Your grade on the optional fifth
exam can replace your exam 1, exam 2, exam 3 OR exam 4 grade (whichever was lowest), if the fifth exam
grade is higher. If the fifth exam grade is lower than your exam 1, exam 2 and exam 3 grades, it will not
count towards your grade.
You may prepare one 8 ½” by 11” formula sheet for use during each exam. No other papers or books
may be used except those distributed with the exam. You must provide your own scientific calculator and
pencils. Spare batteries, pencils, and working erasers are recommended. Only one cheat sheet is allowed
in each exam. For the fifth exam (only) you can use a double-sided sheet of paper.
In the event of a storm or other disruption, if the University is open the exam will take place as
scheduled.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY refers to the “integral” quality of the search for knowledge that a student
undertakes. The work a student produces, therefore, ought to be wholly his or hers; it should result
completely from the student’s own efforts. A student will be guilty of violating academic integrity if
he/she a) knowingly represents work of others as his/her own, b) uses or obtains unauthorized assistance
in the execution of any academic work, or c) gives fraudulent assistance to another student. [McGlynn,
2001].
Wright State University strictly enforces violations of academic integrity. Past violations include
collaborating with others on graded course work including in class exams, take-home tests, on-line
quizzes, and homework assignments. For more information see http://www.wright.edu/students/judicial/
Know the policy – ignorance is not a defense.
GRADING: Four in-depth exams
Homework assignments
Weekly Reading Quiz
Total score
400 points
120 points
60 points
580 points*
To receive an “A”: 580 x 90% = 522 = A
“B”: 580 x 79% = 458 = B
“C”: 580 x 68% = 394 = C
“D”: 580 x 57% = 331 = D
“F”: Below 331 = F
*EXTRA CREDIT
Your grade is based on a total of 580 points, as outlined above. It is possible to finish the term with more
than 580 points. There are two, and only two, means of obtaining extra credit points:
Quizzes: Each reading quiz question contributes a half point towards your total score. The 60 points
contributed by the reading quizzes towards the total score is based on reading quizzes of ten questions
each. Some quizzes have more than ten questions which provide an opportunity for extra credit. It is
therefore possible at the end of the term to have more than 60 points from reading quizzes contributing to
your total score.
Class Participation: Sign-in attendance sheets and/or using clickers during lecture will earn you up to 10
additional points during the term. These points are in addition to the 580 points outlined above. A
randomly selected sign-in sheet from recitation class will also earn you up to 3 additional points.
HELP may be obtained from your lecturer or your recitation instructor. A help room is available at no
cost in 213A Fawcett Hall. Times to be announced. See Pilot News section. Additional practice
problems are available at the book’s web site http://physics.prenhall.com/giancolippa or in the optional
Student Study Guide available at the bookstore.
PILOT To access materials on PILOT you need to have a WSU computer account. If you don’t have a
WSU computer account, you can get one from CATS in the Library Annex. To access PILOT go to
http://pilot.wright.edu. Select PHY1120-01. There is also a course listing for you recitation section
which may be used by your recitation instructor.
