Study Tips for Introductory Physics Students:
http://www.oberlin.edu/physics/dstyer/StudyTips.html

Solving Problems in Physics:
http://www.oberlin.edu/physics/dstyer/SolvingProblems.html

Topics to be covered:
Oscillations, Waves, Electric Fields, Capacitance, Current and Resistance,
Circuits, Magnetic Fields, Inductance, Alternating Current and Geometric Optics. This
course illustrates many relevant applications of physics to everyday life and nature.

Course Learning Outcomes:

Use the scientific method, critically analyze and evaluate scientific data and
utilize analytical skills to solve problems relevant to the Physics with Calculus course.

Course Information and Goals:
The student will study the basic principles of the harmonic motion, waves,
electricity and magnetism, and optics. He/She will learn how to effectively identify
fundamental physics concepts, reason through physics questions, and solve quantitative
physics problems.

At the completion of the course, the student should be able to:
1. use the physics principles in waves and sound, electricity and magnetism, optics, and
mathematical reasoning(algebraic, geometric, trigonometric, and calculus) in analyzing
physics problems;
2. carry out the steps of analysis;
3. interpret the results or conclusions derived from the analysis process;
4. enhance logical and critical reasoning skills in solving physics problems.
5. use Blackboard for course content, documents, and communication;
6. use the internet for tutorial information.
7. use graphing calculator for assignments.

Class Attendance:
Regular attendance at lectures is expected but will not be used in calculating
student grades.

Grading Policy: There will be four(4) unit tests plus a comprehensive final exam. Your
course grade will be calculated from your best three unit test scores and your final
examination score with the following weights:
Unit Tests: 80%
Final Exam: 20%

A missed test will get zero and count as the drop test grade. Since you are
allowed to drop the lowest unit test score without a penalty, no make-up test will be
given. The only exceptions to this rule are (1) IRSC mandated travel, and (2) military
service. For both of these you must notify your professor before the exam; the make-
up exam must be taken within one week of the original exam date.

It is suggested that you check the grading of the tests with the answer key and
bring any question you may have to your professor. Any grading questions you may
have must be resolved with your professor within one week of the test hand-back date.

Cheating/Plagiarism:
Anyone caught cheating or plagiarizing will get an immediate F for the course
and will be reported to the Vice President of Student Affairs.

Americans with Disabilities Act:
In compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, and the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, professional disability specialists and support
staff at the Student Disability Services (SDS) facilitate a comprehensive range of
academic support services and accommodations for qualified students with disabilities.
IRSC offers many disability resources at on-campus labs. Students who wish to request
an accommodation for a documented disability should contact the SDS at 772-462-7782
or 772-462-7808.
Non-Discrimination and Non-Harassment Policy:

Indian River State College (College) is committed to maintaining a fair and
respectful employment and educational environment. In accordance with federal, state
and local equal opportunity laws, Indian River State College prohibits discrimination on
the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, sex, religion, age, disability, sexual
orientation, marital status, veteran status, or genetic information.

Student Responsibilities:
First and foremost, attend every class. You are responsible for the material
discussed in class and any announcements made in class. Absence from class does not
relieve you of this responsibility.

You should not assume that the instructor will drop you from the class just
because of poor attendance. If you are unable to complete the semester, it is entirely your
responsibility to withdraw from the course by November 6, 2014. Failure to do so will
result in an F for the course

The textbook is clearly written with excellent illustrations and many modern
examples and applications. Read the textbook before coming to class. Be prepared to
ask questions about what you read. Class time will be much more interesting for
everyone if there is lively discussion.

Homework problems are assigned for each chapter. Work the homework
problems on your own. Try hard to work them before seeking for assistance. A basic
rule: If you can't do many of the problems independently, you do not understand
the material. It is very easy to simply print the answers to the homework problems and
go on about your life. That is a very bad practice which has caused many a student to
crash and burn. Don't do it!
Helpful advice:

1. IRSC Academic Support Center;
2. Find a study partner;
3. Come and see me and ask questions, Dont sit for hours in vain trying to
do the homework;
4. www.smarthinking.com;
5. If you are seriously considering of dropping the course, please come and
talk to me first.

In former classes, some students have used solutions manual or my solutions as
guide to working the homework problems, instead of as a check after having worked the
problems. Beware these students did not do well on the tests. On the tests, you will need
to solve problems on your own. You will have to learn how to solve problems on your
own. If you need help on homework get started early. I will not be able to spend lots of
extra time with someone who only begins coming one week before the final exam.

Cell phone and electronic device use policy: The use of cell phones and/or other electronic
device are prohibited during class at IRSC. All cell phones must be set on silent or off
during the class period. Any student who uses a cell phone to make or answer a call, or
send and read text messages or emails, other than IRSC emergency messages during class
time may be asked to leave and may be considered absent for that class. No student has
the right to disturb the teaching and learning process.

Withdrawals: Thursday, November 6, 2014 is the last day to withdraw from the class
with a "W". Instructor withdraw will NOT be given after Thursday, November 6,
2014. It is entirely your responsibility to withdraw from the course if you feel that
you are unable to complete the course. Failure to do so will result in an F for the
course. However, you are encouraged to consult with me before you decide to drop
from the class.
Special note on withdrawals:
PHY2049L is a corequisite of the lecture PHY2049. If you withdraw from
PHY2049, you must withdraw from PHY2049L.
