1 FALL 2012 Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Georgia PHYS 1112: Introductory Physics-Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by the instructor may be necessary. Course Description: The continuation of Introductory Physics. Electricity and electric circuits, magnetism, geometric and wave optics, and elementary atomic and nuclear physics. INTRO PHYS ELEC Oasis Title: Prerequisite: PHYS L or PHYS L Grading System: A-F (Traditional) Instructor: Dr. Andrei Galiautdinov Office: ag@physast.uga.edu Sections: TR 12:30P - 01:45P Office hours: TR 01:45P - 02:45P Text: Physics, vol. 2, 4th Edition, James S. Walker (Pearson Addison-Wesley) Academic Honesty: As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University s academic honesty policy, A Culture of Honesty, and the Student Honor Code. All academic work must meet the standards described in A Culture of Honesty found at: Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor. In-class rules: No laptops, pagers, cellphones, ipads, ipods, or any other electronic/communication devices (except for clickers) are permitted in the classroom. Attendance policy: - All absences (excused or not) must be cleared by TUE., Dec. 04/ absence = -2% points. - You clear your absences by being present in class twice the number of missed classes. - EXAMPLE: By Nov. 01, you have accumulated 2 absences. You clear those by attending class on Nov. 06, 08, 13, and 15. Labs: - All students are required to attend LABS. - Students who are not assigned a lab grade due to non-attendance will automatically receive a failing grade ( F ) for the course. Midterm exams: - There will be three (3) midterm exams on selected chapters. - Final replaces the worst of the midterm exams. - No makeups or re-scheduling permitted. Midterm exam rules: - One (1) standard sheet of paper containing anything you want (e.g., physical constants, formulae, diagrams, problem solutions, etc.), all handwritten. You may write on both sides. - A simple (non-graphing, non-symbolic, non-programmable) scientific calculator. - No other electronic device(s) permitted. - Must work individually.

2 Final exam rules: - A simple (non-graphing, non-symbolic, non-programmable) scientific calculator. - No other electronic device(s) permitted. - Must work individually. Incompletes: If you miss the final exam, you may be assigned an I (incomplete) in accordance with the UGA Regulations, provided all of the following applies: - you received a non-failing grade in all attempted labs (> 70%), - you received a non-failing grade (> 70%) on at least one midterm exam, - you received a non-failing grade (> 70%) on at least three homework assignments, - no violation of the Academic Honesty Policy took place in the course of the semester. You must remove the I by the end of the semester subsequent to its assignment. Grading policy: -2% EACH ABSENCE (excused or not) must be cleared as described above 5% HMWK (no makeup; must be completed online before the deadline) 25% LABS (attendance mandatory; see above for details) 15% EXAM 1 (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given) 15% EXAM 2 (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given) 15% EXAM 3 (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given) 25% FINAL (no makeup; must be taken with your section on the day it is given; raw score replaces the worst of the 3 midterm exams, if it is better) 100% TOTAL (minus twice the number of absences) Cut-offs: F: [0, 60) D: [60, 68) C-: [68, 70) C: [70, 75) C+: [75, 78 ) B-: [78, 80) B: [80, 85) B+: [85, 88) A-: [88, 90) A: [90, 100] NOTE: No rounding; = A-, etc. How to do well in this class: 1. Read each chapter before it is discussed in class. 2. Attend every lecture. 3. Participate actively in discussions. 4. Re-read chapter carefully after class. 5. Do assigned homework. 6. Solve as many end-of-chapter problems as possible. 7. Concepts first. Do NOT plug-and-chug. 8. Use a buddy system: find a friend with whom to discuss physics. 9. Think about physics on a regular basis. 10. If everything fails, consider dropping the class before the deadline and retaking it at a later time.
