4 Central Michigan University PHY 146 Spring 2003 Course Ref. No Instructor: Lecture-location/time/days: Office Hours: Office/Phone/ Dr. Didar I. Qadir (Pronounced...Kaa-their) Dow-102, 10:00 a.m. to10:50 a.m., MTWF MWF, 12:00 noon to 12:50 p.m. TR, 11:00 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. Text: Halliday, Resnick, Walker; Fundamentals of Physics, 6 th Edition, Wiley; 2000 What is the course about? PHY 145 and PHY-146 gives the student of Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and some other related disciplines an opportunity to get an understanding of the basic quantitative laws governing the physical universe. These principles are at the very foundation of the physical sciences. Therefore a clear and thorough understanding of all the basic concepts, ideas, principles, and laws is absolutely essential. It is important for the student to recognize that this is not a plug and chug course. They are expected to learn well beyond that level. In this course, the focus is on quantitative problem solving based on reasoning. By solving problems the students learn to understand and predict observations or results based on physicals laws of the universe around us. It should therefor be clear to all students that although this is an introductory course, it is a very serious one at that, and I will demand that you put in your very best. This is the most important Physics course you will ever take. My favorite comment to students in this course is: In order to thoroughly understand physics, you must understanding each and every concept and law in the course. So, I urge you to make this as your goal in this course. That will give you a great start on your career as a scientist or engineer. A poor grade in this course assures you of difficulty and frustration in subsequent higher level courses. Examination and Grade PolicyExamination and Grade Policy There will be four Mid-term Examinations and a final examination. The Mid-term Exams will carry 100 points each. The Final Examination will be of two-hour duration and will carry 200 points. Assignment sets will carry a total of additional 150 points. Mid-term Exams 4 x 100 = 400 Final Exam 1 x 200 = 200 Assignments = 150 Therefore the final grade will be based on your score out of a total of 750 points maximum. At the end of the semester, the total grades of the students in the class will be curved and a letter grade, based on the curve, will be assigned for each student. Missing an exam is very strongly discouraged. If missing an examination becomes absolutely imperative you must make prior mutually agreed arrangements with me for a make-up examination. ing me is by no means sufficient. In any and every case such arrangements must be made at the student's initiative with me no later than 5:00 p.m. of the weekday following the quiz. Even though the questions may be different, the make-up exam will carry the same number of points. A score of zero is earned for a missed examination. All exams count toward your final grade. Grades will be earned based on performance in exams and assignments. Grades will not be awarded on a need basis. If you need a certain grade, it is your responsibility to earn it. Opportunities like retaking exams or doing extra work for extra credit are not available in

5 this course. See the course breakdown for tentative dates for the mid-term examinations. Please do recognize that some adjustments in dates may be necessary. Such changes will either be posted on a specified notice board or will be announced in class. It is your responsibility to be regular in class and be abreast with such announced changes. See the attached Course Lecture Plan for a detailed breakdown of the lectures, assignments and examinations. Also included is the Assignment Sheet. More Assignment Sheets will be distributed in class later during the semester. Learning Strategy As the course proceeds you will be learning many basic concepts and laws of Physics, one or more every day. How well the course material has been grasped by you will be assessed by how well you are able to solve related problems. The quizzes and the examination will consist of problems only of varying degrees of difficulty. To get maximum benefit from class-lectures you are required to read the relevant sections before each class and once again after the class. You should not fall behind in either your reading assignments or your problem assignments. For better learning, after each class, work out problems related to the class material. It is better that you solve problems while the class discussions are still fresh in your mind. Most concepts build on preceding concepts. Make sure you understand each and every concept and law thoroughly. Although it may sound strange, there is no two-way about it. Lagging behind will result in failure or poor grades. In Physics, it is not sufficient to just know facts. Physics is not merely a collection of facts. You must learnt to recognize how different concepts and laws interrelate in physical phenomena, and learn how to quantitatively analyze different physical phenomena. This makes learning strategies in Physics markedly different from most other subjects. Try to observe how I proceed to attack problems in class. Do not get so engrossed in the mathematics that you lose sight of the strategy and analytical thinking process. Do not get discouraged if you cannot solve a problem in the very first attempt. Read the related sections over again carefully. Understand the given physical situation clearly. Then identify how it relates to the concepts and mathematics. In this course, the more problems you work on, the better off you will be. Group discussion among students is encouraged. It is a very effective way to learn physics fast and with minimum stress. However, discussions should be done only after students have read the material, and after serious independent attempts were made at solving the exercises. Also keep in mind that the exercises and problem sets represent a bare minimum. You are urged to attempt other problems in the text. Mathematics NeededMathematics Needed! Physics is a quantitative science that requires mathematics in fundamental ways. For the scientist or engineer, mathematics is an indispensable tool. Mathematics is the natural language of Physics. We will use mathematics freely and extensively. You are expected to have a very thorough understanding of algebra and elementary trigonometry. It is also assumed that you have completed the equivalent of MTH 136 or MTH 132 and that you have completed or are currently enrolled in MTH 137 or MTH 133 or equivalent. You are NOT PERMITTED to use a programmable calculator during your examinations. Student TutorsStudent Tutors Tutorial assistance is available in Dow-231 on a regular schedule, Monday through Thursday, 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

6 Tutors are Physics undergraduate students. They are available for discussion and to assist you in your learning process. Please remember that only one tutor is present in the room to help many students from different courses. So he or she may not be able to give you undivided attention at all times. Also, I am available at my office for questions.. Neither the tutor nor I will solve your homework assignment for you. Students with DisabilitiesStudents with Disabilities CMU provides students with disabilities reasonable accommodation to participate in educational programs, activities or services. Students with disabilities requiring accommodations to participate in class activities or meet course requirements should contact your instructor Dr. Didar I. Qadir as early as possible.
