Felix Babierra Nada Physics 1 Year = 2 semesters Physics Principles with Applications by Giancolli, 2009, 6th ed. felixn@eis.ac.th Building 6, Rm.664 - Physics Lab 1 credit

References and Weblinks: 1. Glencoe Physics: Principles and Problems by Zitzewitz 2. Physics by Walker, 2010 3. SciLinks at http://www.scilinks.org/ for supplementary material 4. http://physics.prenhall.com/giancollippa Welcome to Introductory Physics Course! For two semesters, we will cover the 5 major areas in Physics: Newtonian mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermal physics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, atomic and nuclear physics. This will include most of the chapters in the textbook, Physics by Giancolli, with exemptions of a few topics that are not required by the College Board for AP Physics B. Even though this current course is not intended for AP Physics exam, it guarantees a comprehensive introduction for high school students who wish to pursue a degree in the field of science and engineering. Class Attendance: Attendance and participation in classroom activities are extremely important. Bring your calculator to class every day. It is also important to be on time for class. Handouts are distributed and announcements are made all the beginning of class. Schools attendance and tardy policy outlined in the student handbook will be strictly enforced. You are responsible for all information and instructions discussed in class whether or not you were present. Prerequisite: Physical Science or Conceptual Physics, Algebra 1 and 2 Laboratory: Laboratory attendance is required. Handouts is given a day before to give you ample time to read the material prior to actual experiment. Lab reports are to be completed and turned in by the end of the lab period unless otherwise noted. Homework, Assignments, and Quizzes: Homework is due at the beginning of class on the dates indicated on the assignment sheet or as written on the board. Late homework will receive a 20% deduction per day. So, do not expect to submit homework after 5 days because it will not receive any credit, unless prior arrangements are made. Missing assignments receive a zero grade. Your name will appear on all work submitted to me. Therefore, as a matter of personal pride, I expect all such submissions to be of the highest quality. No one else bears your name; honor it well. Solutions to all homework problems, problem sets, and tests will be posted on the new EIS teacher-website, under the name Mr. Felix. Discussion of homework and problem sets is allowed and encouraged; however, copying of homework is not. All work submitted should represent your own best effort. Announced quizzes consisting of problems and conceptual questions will occasionally be given. Tests and Exams: Test is given after the end of each chapter. This is to evaluate your level of conceptual and problem solving skills for each topic. Quarter exams are given based on the schedule provided in the school calendar. Exams are comprehensive and will cover all the lessons taken during the whole quarter. Make sure you bring your own calculator to all tests and exams. Calculators cannot be shared!

Academic Dishonesty: Cheating or plagiarism will result in zero credit for the assessment. Study groups can be effective. However, when a student submits an assignment, he/she is stating that the material submitted has been fully comprehended. Still, submissions that are copied word for word from the work of a friend is considered plagiarism are unacceptable.
