• Readings: The reading assignments are listed below. Complete the readings before the corresponding lectures. You must complete the READING QUIZ for each day before the beginning of class.
• Homework: There will be no homework assignments except the assigned reading and the READING QUIZ.
• Exams: There will be three exams, held on the Physics Common Exam days during the semester (see below), and the final exam.  Each common exam will consist of roughly 50 multiple-choice and/or true-false questions, all of which will come directly from class presentations or the text book.  Some material in the assigned readings may not be presented in class, yet will be on the exam, so reading the material is essential.  The final exam will consist of roughly 100 multiple-choice and/or true-false questions covering material from the entire course.  Each exam will be "closed-book" and "closed-notes."  No "formula sheet" or "cheat sheet" will be provided or permitted for any examination.
• Grades: Your grade will be based on the READING QUIZZES (15%), the three exams (20% each) and the final exam (25%). The examinations will be administered on the following dates.

First Examination (8:30-9:45 am) Friday, Sep 30, 2005
Second Examination (8:30-9:45 am) Friday, Oct 28, 2005
Third Examination (8:30-9:45 am) Friday, Nov 18, 2005
Final Examination to be announced

There will be no "make-up" examinations. If you plan to be absent on one of the above dates, you must discuss your situation with the instructor on the first day of class (Friday, September 02, 2005). If you miss an examination and you have not discussed the situation with the instructor on the first day of class, you will receive a grade of zero for that examination. Each exam grade and the final grade will be based on the following table.  Neither the exam grades nor the final grades will be curved.

85 - 100%	A
80 -   84%	B+
70 -   79%	B
65 -   69%	C+
50 -   64%	C
40 -   49%	D
0 -   39%	F

• Observing Sessions: At least two optional observing sessions will be held at a location and time to be announced.
• Attendance and in-class behavior: Attendance is required at every lecture. If you miss three lectures, your name will be surrendered to the Dean of Freshman Studies who may drop you from the course. As a common courtesy to your fellow students and the instructor, you are expected to follow these guidelines: Arrive on time and stay until class is dismissed.  Be attentive in class, e.g. do not eat, sleep, or read newspapers, etc.  If you expect to be late or miss a class, inform the instructor in advance.
• Academic Integrity: Students will comply with the NJIT Honor Code at all times. Any student who is disruptive in the classroom will be in violation of the Academic Honor Code and will be reported to the Dean of Student Services. Cheating of any kind during the examinations is a violation of the Honor Code.  Any such violation will result in the student automatically failing the course and the incident will be reported to the Dean of Student Services for further action. Examples of cheating include, but not limited to, talking with another student, copying work from another student's exam paper, allowing another student to copy from your exam paper, or use of any materials other than those expressly allowed during the exam.
