Introductory Algebra-Based Computer-Enhanced General Physics

Last View of Saturn

Two days after its encounter with Saturn, Voyager 1 looked back on the planet from a distance of more than 5 million km. This view of Saturn has never been seen by an earth-based telescope, since the Earth is so close to the Sun only the sunlit face of Saturn can be seen. (Credit: Calvin J. Hamilton, Los Alamos National Laboratory)

Text: Physics by Douglas C. Giancoli, Fourth Edition
Laboratory Manual: Physics 101 by Lisa K. Morris, Spring 1996

SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS: The following texts may be of assistance to students. They have different styles, and you may wish to evaluate which would be most useful to you. Nobody will need both.
Study Guide for Giancoli's Physics by Joseph J. Boyle, Fourth Edition. Publisher: Prentice Hall This is directly correlated with the text. It has direct reference to concepts and terms used by our author. It also has many worked out solutions to sample problems and questions.
College Physics, Theory and Problems, by F.J.Bueche. Publisher: Schaum. This text contains many solved problems and a succinct outline of physics. Just solving lots of problems is an effective way to learn physics.

CALCULATORS: You can use your calculator during the examinations or quizzes. If you do not yet own a calculator, it is recommended that you acquire one that can use scientific notation, allow for parenthesis, and has trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions (about $15). You will need a calculator for homework, quizzes, laboratories, and exams.

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING: The course grade will be based on the appropriate weighting: Hour Examinations/Quiz Option: 50%; Final Examination: 25%; Laboratory: 25%.

DAILY WORK EVALUATION (QUIZ OPTION): Particularly relevant problems are listed on the syllabus. Also, a quiz date is listed for each section. On that day at the end of class, there will be a short (appr. 10 min) quiz drawn directly from the problems listed in the syllabus. Unlike an hour exam, this will be an open-text, open-note quiz, so that you should have little problem with the quiz, if you have previously worked out the problems. Participation in these quizzes is optional. If you choose to participate, your quiz average is a good insurance policy against a bad day in the exams. Because these quizzes are an evaluation of your work, daily work solutions will not be posted until after the quiz. Quiz questions should also alert you to the problems you may have had in understanding the homework before you have to face it on an hour exam. The final quiz average will be based on the best 9 out of 10 quizzes. The final quiz average, if higher, will replace the worst of your hour-exam scores.

Those who wish to carry forward their lab grades from previous semesters, please contact the Instructor.

Those who are in a real trouble, may wish to contact SALC at Cleveland 57 (a personal tutoring help is available through SALC)

Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have a documented disability. Please notify the Instructor during the first week of class of any accommodations needed for the course. Late notification may cause the requested accommodations to be unavailable. All accommodations must be approved through the Disability Resource Center (DRC) located in Cleveland, 57, phone 335-1566. 

LABORATORY: Please report to your assigned lab as soon as possible. Laboratory meets 01.16.96 through 04.25.96. All laboratory work must be completed by 04.25.96.
Assessing your lab progress, please take into account that the lab grades will be normalized to average of 81%, standard deviation of 9. Therefore, always compare your grade with the average grade in your group. 

The lecture materials are available on line. Click on any highlighted date in the table below, and you will obtain the lecture scheduled on that day. Most of the materials are in Microsoft Word for Windows format (extension .DOC). These are binary files. Most browsers at this point will ask to configure a viewer. If you have Microsoft Word for Windows, indicate it as the viewer. Otherwise, there is a free viewer available from Microsoft. Follow the link and instructions that you will find in it -- the installation is very simple. Go to Microsoft Word Viewer

The table of scores is available - click here (use View/Document Sourse from the main menu). Those who have their final grades A in the table do not have to take the final exam - congratulations.

The final list of formulas is available (click here): It may be useful in your preparations for exams.
