INSTRUCTOR: Andrei Sirenko, email: sirenko@njit.edu, phone: 973-596-5342, room: 423E

 

COURSE MATERIAL:

Physics,   by  James S. Walker,  Second Edition

Physics Laboratory Manual: http://physics.njit.edu/classes/physlab/

 

The associated laboratory course Phys 103 A is to be taken concurrently.  The lab description can be found

on the Physics Home Page Web site.

 

LECTURES:               M, T, W, R:       1 pm                FMH408

LABS:                         T,W,R              3 pm                 TIER408

 

PLEASE NOTE:  YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE LECTURE/RECITATION COURSE, AND THE LAB COURSE.  WITHDRAWAL FROM EITHER PHYSICS COURSE WILL CAUSE A SIMULTANEOUS WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL OTHER PHYSICS COURSES.

 

Your final grade in Physics 103  will be determined by your performance on the following:

 

1) Common Exams         Two common quizzes will be given during the semester.  The schedule is:

 

Common Exam           Monday, July 18th, 2005                         1 pm – 3 pm

Schedule                     Monday, July 25th, 2005                         1 pm – 3 pm

                                

2) Final Exam                A comprehensive examination of the entire semester's work will be given

                                    at the end of the semester (August 4th or August 8th, 1 pm – 3 pm, TBD)

3) Lecture Quizzes        A short Quiz will be given during each Lecture

 

3) Homework             HW assignments will be posted on-line by University of Texas Homework System.

                                  Each student  has  to obtain UT EID  (https://hw.utexas.edu/bur/instrGuestEID.html) to login

          into the UT account to access the class 31136 at  https://hw.utexas.edu. After registration students will

          be able to download the assignments and submit answers to automated University of Texas

          homework system for grading.

 

Here are the approximate weights to be used for calculating the final grade:

 

                        50%     for two common exams ( 25% each)

                        30%     for the final exam

                        10%     for the total homework grade

                        10%     for the total lecture quiz grade

A: 80+             B+:75-79         B: 70-74          C+: 65-69        C: 55-64          D: 50-54          F: < 50

HONOR CODE STATEMENT
