Additional Course Information
1.
Textbook
University Physics, 12th edition, Volume 2, H.D. `Young and R.A. Friedman (Addison-Wesley)
Also available at the U of C bookstore: Study Guide, Volume II and III (to accompany the textbook), by J.R.
Gaines and W.F. Palmer, as well as Student Solution Manual, Volume II and II, by A. Lewis Ford.
You are advised not to mark your name or write in textbooks until lectures have commenced, since the
bookstore will not give refunds on used books.
2.
Laboratories
One 3-hour laboratory session will be attended every week. Each student will attend a total of six sessions
during the course. Labs are held in the basement of Science Theatres (room ST 037). LAB Manuals are for
sale for $6.00 after the first lecture.

Exemption from laboratory for students repeating the course: Students who are taking Physics 259 for the
second time, and who obtained a grade of C (or, equivalently, 65/100) or better (C- is not acceptable) in the
lab in a previous course, may be excused from repeating the laboratory. In this case the lab grade from the
previous year will be used in determining the final grade.
Students who wish to be exempted from the lab must submit a lab exemption form (available in the Physics
Office, SB 605) during the first week of lectures.
3.
Tutorials
There will be a tutorial every Friday 13:30 - 15:20 in SB 142.
Problems will be posted on the “Blackboard” couple of days before each tutorial, and should be studied
before coming to the tutorial.
4.
Examinations
There will be two examinations in this course, a 90-minute closed-book midterm examination held during
the lecture time on Tuesday, July 28, and a final examination, three hours, will be scheduled by the
Registrar sometime in the period of August 17 -19.

Assignments (read carefully).
Assignments will be posted on the “Blackboard”.
Students will attempt assignment questions on their own as much as possible, with little advice from
the instructor.
Assignment due dates: Your completed assignments are due at 11:30 AM on the dates in the table below.
Please drop the assignments into the box with my name in the nook across Hugo Graumann office. The last
assignment is due at 5:00 PM.

Solutions will be posted on the “Blackboard”.
An assignment is considered late if not handed in by the due time. A LATE assignment will be accepted if
Handed in before the solution is posted, however, 20% of the total mark will be deducted.
Assignment return: Your marked assignment will be returned to you in lectures (allow a couple of days for
marking)
Queries about missing assignments and assignment marks should be addresses to the course instructor.
Important Assignment Format Rules: Follow the diagram below as closely as possible for every single sheet
of your assignment. Number all pages as shown. PRINT your name at the top right-hand corner of the
first page and your ID# on all other pages. UNDERLINE your SURNAME.
Use standard size 8” x 11” paper. 3-hole punched paper is acceptable. Staple pages together in upper LeftCorner. Pages should otherwise be unprotected and unbound. NO PLASTIC or CARDBOARD BINDINGS
PLEASE.

Electronic Tutorials
th
Students who buy a new copy of the 12 Ed. of the textbook will discover that they have also purchased
access to an electronic tutorial system, MasteringPHYSICS. This is the system developed at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and “test-driven” at many schools at the USA and Canada. The web
address of the system is: www.masteringphysics.com, and the course name on this website will be
announced later.
To log in you will need an access code, which is enclosed with your new copy of the 11th edition of Young
and Freeman. Alternatively, you can purchase an access code separately at the U of C bookstore for
approximately $30. You will also need a Class Code, which will be provided by the lecturer in the first
lecture.

These tutorials involve relatively simple problems and provide good instruction in basic concepts that you
need to master in order to do more complex problems. We believe you will find it worthwhile.
If you are not already familiar with the system, then before attempting any of the tutorials you should work
Through the pre-tutorial exercise named “Introduction to MasteringPHYSICS” that you will find on the
website.This will familiarize you with the data entry protocol for electronic tutorial work. Here are some
examples.
