PHY 181-01 9:00 AM M W, F Rm: AT-117 PHY 181 L11 Mon 2:00 - 4:50 Rm AT 116 (Mr McGrew ) PHY 181 L13 Tues 8:00 - 10:50 Rm AT 116 (Ms LaBelle)

ATTENDANCE: Attendance at all scheduled course activities is expected of each student. Absent students are responsible for any work missed, regardless of the reason for absence. Attendance will be taken as required by the College. Tobacco use, private conversations, and other disturbing behavior will not be permitted in class, Students should have a scientific calculator with them in class and laboratory.

CHEATING,: Cheating includes the unauthorized receiving or giving of information resulting in an unfair advantage. Students suspected of cheating on a quiz or exam will receive a grade of zero on that quiz or exam. A second offense will result in automatic failure of the course and possible disciplinary action by the College.

HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis. Students are to read sections and attempt all homework problems. Homework may be collected and graded at the discretion of the instructor. Any student absent when homework is collected or any student with an incomplete assignment will have no opportunity to turn in the assignment late, Some homework will be collected from the internet site associated with your textbook.

LABORATORY: Physics lab procedures will be explained in detail by your lab instructor. The student should be aware that failure to submit more than three Physics lab reports on time will result in a grade of "F" for the entire Physics course.

QUIZZES: Short unannounced quizzes will be given often during the semester. A missed quiz will be graded as zero regardless of the reason for absence. One quiz grade will be dropped at the end of the semester. Some quizzes will be submitted on the internet.

EXAMS: Four (4) one hour exams will be given (approximately one every three or four weeks) during the semester. If an exam is to be missed, the instructors must be notified prior to the exam, and a valid (as determined by the instructors) reason stated. A make-up exam will be considered only for instructor-approved absences. Exams are given on Wednesdays from 3-5 PM in AT-200

FINAL EXAMS: An optional comprehensive final exam will be given during final exam week. The exact time and place will be schedule by the registrar. The results of the final will replace the lowest grade on the four (4) regular exams.

ADVICE: If you begin to have difficulties in this or any other course, deal with the problem immediately. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. In most courses, success is a direct result of understanding the preliminary material and attempting the homework problems. You should, therefore, make every attempt to keep up with the class and do your assignments in a timely manner.

1)See the instructor with questions and for extra help. Remember! All your instructors are here to help you. We all want you to do as well as possible. We want you to succeed! The material is difficult, but we want to help you through it all.

Do your homework. As you do your homework, if you spend more than 20 to 30 minutes on a particular problem, without any real success-get someone to help you with that problem.

2)Form a study group with some people in class and meet regularly. Two heads are better than one.

3)Go to the math lab or atrium help area on a regular basis. Bring the homework problems you have worked on but had trouble with.

6) Check out the Internet. a concurrent course is being taught on the Net PHY- 171.
