Course Policies
1.
The class will be a cell phone free environment. Phones must be on vibrate and if you must take a call,
it must take outside the classroom.
2. Cell phones will not be permitted as calculators.
3. Online homework will be assigned and automatically graded.
4. There will be three 60-minute quizzes and a 150-minute final exam. The low grade quiz will dropped.
Printed lecture presentations will be allowed during exams and quizzes. No other material will be
permitted.
5. Homework problems will be assigned once per week. The principle purpose of the homework
problems is to improve your problem solving skills and is an indispensable part of the preparation
for exams. The quizzes will be based upon the Homework problems.
6. Lecture presentations will posted at least 24 hours in advance of the class on the course website.

Lectures
Students are expected to attend and be on time for all scheduled lectures and are encouraged to ask
questions and participate in the discussion. Different approaches to the theory and problem solving will
be presented, and techniques discussed in class may not be covered in the text. Students are responsible
for all material discussed during class time, and exams will be designed accordingly.
Examinations
1.
There will be three, 60- minute exams during the course and a 150-minute final exam at the end of
the course.
2.
All exams will be closed book unless otherwise specified. Copies of the slides will be allowed. Use
of calculators is acceptable. No other aids can be employed unless specified prior to the exam.
Students must bring their own calculators. Exchange of material during exams is not permitted. All
cell phones must be turned-off during an exam.
3.
Grading of exams will place a heavy emphasis on a demonstration of a clear understanding of the
theory and the method of solution. Exams should include:
1)
2)
3)
A diagram showing known data and unknown variables.
All equations necessary for the solution, the value of each variable in the equations, and
each step in the solution.
Units of final answer (volts, amperes, coulombs, etc.).
