What we will do
Textbook:
|
We will be using the textbook of University Physics by Young & Freedman 15th Edition. 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. |
Attendance:
To be successful in this
class, it is extremely important to attend all lectures and
actively participate in
the classroom learning. The attendance will be
taken via FIU check in (please download the app in advance)
and counted
towards 5% of your final
grade. Each student may have up to three unexcused
absences without
penalty.
Homeworks:
Finishing homework on time
is critical in this course. The homework will count for 15% of your final grade.
More importantly, the homework is directly relevant to the
exams. Doing well on homework is one of the most important
preparations for you to do well on exams. The homework assignments can be accessed
Canvas
in the “assignments” tab.
It requires a Mastering Physics access code that comes with
new textbooks or can be purchased online if you have a used
book.
There is a series of tutorial exercises in the first
assignment with which you should practice to get familiar
with the system.
There are some rules in Mastering Physics
1.
When sign up the account, please use your
official name as it
appears on your Panthersoft account.
Please make sure to use the correct Panther ID
in your account. Any accounts that do not match the
official record on Panthersoft will be removed in the
second week.
2.
Each student should only sign up one
account, duplicated accounts will receive no credits on all
accounts.
3.
No credit for late submission.
4.
The number of attempts per question
is limited to 6.
5.
For a multiple-choice or true/false
question, the credit is deducted for each incorrect answer by
100%
6.
You are encouraged to use hints. No
penalty for using a hint, no bonus credit for not opening a
hint.
There will be 10-20 homework problems for
each chapter. Most problems will be taken from the textbook
but will
have different numbers to plug in for each student. The
homework assignments have different due dates.
Late submissions
will lose 10% to 100% of full credits each day after
the due date.
Final Grades:
Attendance 5%, online homework 15% and two midterm exams each 40%
will make the final grade.
And finally some No's,
since this is a college class:
No cheating, No chatting, No napping:) and No unjustified
makeups. We will need formal justification like doctor's
note for make-ups.
