COURSE MATERIAL:

College Physics, by  Serway/Faughn/Vuille,  Seventh Edition 

The book NJIT Physics 103 you can buy at NJIT book store. Volume II.    ISBN-13: 978-1-4240-7924-7    ISBN-10: 1-4240-7924-1

Physics Laboratory Manual:  the laboratory schedule and the links to labs are listed in the syllabus below.

The associated laboratory course Phys 103 A is to be taken concurrently.  The laboratory schedule is included in the table below.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE LECTURE/RECITATION COURSE 103,  AND THE LAB COURSE 103L.  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             Three common quizzes will be given during the semester.  The schedule is:

 

Common Quiz         QZ1    Feb 21   (Tuesday)   TIER LEC2  4:00 pm – 5:25 pm

Schedule                     QZ2  April 10 (Tuesday)   TIER LEC2  4:00 pm – 5:25 pm

 

 FINAL EXAM   May 4, 2012, 2:30 pm – 5:00 pm, KUPF 211

 

  Practice CQZ1

  Practice Final Exam with Answers      Copy of the Equation page for the Final Exam

 example of a PRACTICE EXAM for CQZ2:  and  example of a PRACTICE EXAM for CQZ3 with answers at the end

 Exact Equation page for QZ2

 Exact Equation page for CQZ3

 

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

                                                during Finals Week at the end of the semester.

 

3) Lecture Quizzes               A short Quiz will be given during each Lecture covering the work of the

preceding week

 

3) Homework                Problems from the Textbook (see the Table below). Hardcopies of the solutions to be submitted to

                                                                Eric Standard (mailbox at the Physics Office, TIER Hall 4th floor)

                                                                Deadlines are on Mondays next week after the Lecture, 5pm

                                                                For example, HW2 is due on Monday, Jan 30th.

      

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

                               

                                50 % for two common exams ( 25% each)                    80% and more    - A           

                                35 % for the final exam                                                                     68% - 79 %         - B

                                10 % for the total homework grade and                                         55% - 67%          - C

                                5% LQZs                                                                                               50% - 54%          - D

                                                                                                                49% and less       - F

QZs and Final Exam results WON’T be curved
