Lecture 11: Nov 14 Review for the 3dr Common QZ
Lecture 12: Nov 21 Oscillations I. SHM and pendulum
Lecture 13: Nov 28 Review of Physics 105
& 106
Lecture 14: Dec 5 Review of Physics 106
- Examples
of the Common QZ’s
- Examples
of the FINAL EXAM:
Laboratory - Physics 106A: The laboratory must be taken concurrently
with Physics 106 unless you took it
and passed it
previously. If you drop Physics 106 you automatically drop the lab - no
exceptions. Otherwise,
Physics 106A Lab
is a totally separate course from Physics 106. Students receive separate lab
grades and the lab
instructors set
the requirements and policy. The lab manual (Physics Laboratory Manual II) can
be purchased at the
bookstore; you can
check the lab schedule at http://physics.njit.edu/classes/physlab/
Workshops: You must register for a session of Physics 106W and attend regularly.
The workshops help
you learn how to
solve problems in an informal, collaborative group session staffed by faculty
and student TA’s. It is an
integral part of
Physics 106. Your workshop grade will be counted in your overall Physics 106
grade. You will not receive
a separate
numerical course grade for workshop, but a pass/fail will be recorded.

Office hours will be posted (see
instructor’s schedules), other times by appointment
Pre- and Co-requisite Courses:
§
Prerequisite: Phys 105 or the equivalent. Co-requisite: Math 104, 111 or an equivalent
calculus course. Vector operations
including cross product, differential calculus, and some elements of integral
calculus will be used.
§
All
students must register for a lecture
and recitation section, a workshop section, and a section of the laboratory course. Withdrawal from any of these causes withdrawal from all parts of Physics 106.
Course Materials:
§
Primary
text (FOP): Fundamentals of Physics, Volume 1,
Seventh Edition, Halliday, Resnick and
§
§
Web Sites: Instructors will use their
web sites for posting lecture notes, problems, exam results, study materials,
etc. So go there often. Email is used for announcements and to
distribute material: be sure yours is working.
Laboratory - Physics 106A: The laboratory must
be taken concurrently with Physics 106 unless you took it and passed it
previously. If you drop Physics 106 you automatically drop the lab - no exceptions.
Otherwise, Physics 106A Lab is a totally separate course from Physics
106. Students receive separate lab
grades and the lab instructors set the requirements and policy. The lab manual (Physics Laboratory Manual II)
can be purchased at the bookstore; you can check the lab schedule at http://web.njit.edu/classes/physlab/
Workshops: You must
register for a session of Physics 106W workshop and attend regularly. The workshop helps you learn how to solve
problems in an informal, collaborative group session staffed by faculty and
student TA’s. It is an integral part of
Physics 106. You will receive a workshop grade that is counted in your overall
Physics 106 grade. The letter grade
assigned for workshops is S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory).
Assignments: The weekly text, practice problem,
and homework assignments are listed in the schedule
below.
§
The weekly text
readings are in FOP (Halliday
& Resnick). Read each assigned
section before the Lecture covering the material in it. Download instructor’s lecture notes if
available and bring them to class.
§
It is almost impossible to succeed in this
course without working a lot of problems.
There is a set of “practice
problems” posted for you on-line, with solutions. Your work on these will not be graded, but
doing them is a good way to get up to speed before doing the online homework,
and they are a favorite source of exam questions.
§
Each student must download the homework problem assignments from the
§
Homework
scores count for 8% of your final grade in the course. Students who do not submit
homework are automatically lowering their class average by up to 8%.
§
Homework
due dates will be announced by each instructor. They depend on the class schedule but will
generally allow you at least one week-end to complete the assignment.
Short
Quizzes: Short quizzes covering the preceding week’s
work will usually be given during each lecture and/or recitation. The
grades count toward your final course grade. There will be no make-up quizzes.
Examinations: There
will be three Common Exams and a comprehensive Final Exam during the term. You will be allowed to use formula sheets
and calculators. The schedule is:
§
Common
Exam 1: Friday, February 9 8:30
– 9:50 am
§
Common
Exam 2: Friday, March 2
§
Common
Exam 3: Friday, April 13
§
Comprehensive
Final Exam: during May 3 to 9. 2.5 hours
Grading: The
final grade will be based on a composite score that includes each common exam,
the final exam, the lecture quizzes, homework, and your workshop score. The weights we expect to use in calculating
the composite score are:
§
48% for all three common exams (16% for each)
§
32% for the final exam
§
8% for
the total homework grade
§
4% for
the total lecture quiz grade
§
8% for
the workshop grade, as reported by your workshop instructor
Attendance: Attendance at lectures, recitation classes, and workshops is
mandatory. A total of 3 unexcused
absences from lecture, recitation, and workshop in any combination can result in a student being dropped from the
course. Instructors will take
attendance regularly. The Dean of
Students will be notified of excessive absences. Students with several
excusable absences should contact the Dean of Freshman Studies. If you withdraw from the course, do it
officially through the Registrar; do not simply stop attending and taking
exams. Students who withdraw unofficially
force the instructor to assign an "F" grade for the course.
Study
Groups: Students
find it helpful to form small, informal groups that study & work on
homework together. Talking about the
concepts, logic, problem-solving methods, etc. with others makes it much easier
to learn. Collaborative learning works
and produces better grades.
Socialization is a bonus but should not be the main activity.
Help: If
you are having difficulty visit or email your instructor; do not simply hope
for a “miracle” and fall further behind. The
Honor
Code Violations or Disruptive Behavior: NJIT policy is zero-tolerance for cheating of any kind and for
student behavior that disrupts learning by others. Incidents will be immediately reported to the
Dean of Studies. The penalties for
violations range from a minimum of failure in the course plus disciplinary
probation up to expulsion from NJIT with notations on a students' permanent
record. Avoid situations where your own
honorable behavior could be misinterpreted. Students will be required to agree to the
NJIT Honor Code on each exam.
Courtesy: Please do not eat, drink, or create noise
that interferes with the work of students or instructors. Cellular
phones, wireless devices, notebook computers, and messaging devices of all
kinds must be turned off during class meetings and exams.
