Current Grades

What we will  do

Textbook:


We will be using the textbook of  University Physics by Young & Freedman
<=14th Editions.  Below are the chapter sections we will cover during  each week
of the semester.  Some sections will be covered in greater depth than others. 
It is important to read the sections prior to each class as they will complement
the lectures.  The reading assignments for the semester are listed below.


Homeworks:
As you will learn, in physics, the problem solving is fundamental in comprehending the concepts. We will be using a web-based system for turning in and grading the homeworks.
The homework kit comes with the textbook. You can also get the standalone kit from the publisher page, where you will find detailed instructions for using the system.  
The homework will count for 19% of your grade for the course.

Exams:
You should show the work in solving the exam problems.  The correct answer without work being shown will not get the full credit.

Final Grades:
In-class exam grades and the homework  will be used to determine the final course grade. The weighting of the grades will be 27%  for each
in-class exams and 19% for the homeworks.  

And finally some No's, since this is a college class:
No cheating,  No chatting, No napping and No unjustified exam makeups, No smart  phones during the exam....
