Introduction
Homework assignments
 There will be 14 homework assignments in this class.
The quizzes are web-based using the WileyPlus
support site
 Typically, the homework will be made available every,
Thursday beginning with the first week and should be
submitted by the evening of the following Wednesday.
 You will lose points for late submission of the homework
assignments.
08/29/2011
Introduction
Collaboration vs. copying
 It is in your best interest not to just copy your homework.
There will be nobody to copy from at the exams.
 Having said that you are encouraged to collaborate as much
as possible. Explaining to somebody something is the best
way to understand it.
08/29/2011
Introduction
Quizzes
 There will be 15 quizzes in this class. The quizzes are
web-based using the WileyPlus support site.
 Typically, the quizzes will be made available every
Tuesday, and should be submitted by the evening of the
following Monday.
 Definitely no late acceptance of the quiz assignments.
08/29/2011
Introduction
Examinations
 There will be three midterms and a final exam - similar
problems with the homework, quizzes, class problems
and sample exams - NOT IDENTICAL!!!! - But very close
 Close book-exams. Feel free to bring a 8.5 x 11 inches
sheet of paper with formulas. I will also supply you with
all the formulas that you need (and some that you don’t)
 The midterms are 1 hour while the final exam is 2 hours.
WORD OF ADVICE – Show all the work. Even if you
do not get the right answer, you will still get points if
your solving technique is correct.

Introduction
Laboratories
 You will attend a laboratory session every week in SI 148,
where you will do an experiment.
 During the first lab session you will be given the
laboratory session policy regarding attendance. If you
miss more labs than allowed by this policy you will
receive the grade F. In case you cannot make it to a
laboratory session please contact your teaching assistant
or the lab manager Tara Peppard (t.peppard@csuohio.edu)
(Phone: (216) 523 7584 or (216) 687 2076).

Extra-credit
 Optional but highly recommended
- Asses your progress in the class
- Can only improve your grade in the class (get points that
are used to boost your final grade).
 Sources:
- Extra – assignments posted online.
- Participation in the class (use Student Response
System).

Student response system (SRS)
Answer choices
Rules of use
 Take your SRS at the beginning of the class.
 Please return remote after each class.
 Note: - do not press the GO button at any time. This might
change the channel on which your remote works, requiring
me to reset it after class.

Introduction
Announcements for PHY 244 enrolled students
 Essay #1: at least 500 words about Laboratory #1 –”Coulomb’s
balance”. It is due on the 3rd week of the semester. This essay will be
graded as part of the corresponding lab report.
 Essay #2: at least 500 words about Laboratory #6 – ”Wheatstone
bridge” . It is due on the 8th week of the semester. This essay will be
graded as part of the corresponding lab report.
 Essay #3: about 2000 words long discussing the broader relevance of
the experiments done during the laboratory experience. The first draft of
this essay is due at the end of the 12th week of the semester.
 The grade for essay #3 will be used to calculate the point average grade
for the entire laboratory session ((average of 15 experiments) + WAC
essay).
 PHY 244 is a WAC class. Thus according to the WAC criteria, In order to
receive a C or better in the course, you must write at a satisfactory skill
level (C or better).
