COURSE
OBJECTIVES
Welcome to Physics 105! Active learning is
the most important objective of this course. Here are some critical outcomes
that are intended:
COURSE
MATERIAL
Textbooks: Fundamentals of Physics,
Seventh Edition, Volume 1 (7th Edition), by Halliday,
Resnick and Walker, (John Wiley and Sons, 2005, ISBN
= 0-471-42959-7)
Supporting Materials: Active Physics,
Second Edition, by Van Heuvelen and Gautreau (Wiley Custom Svc.)
COURSE
REQUISITES
LABORATORY COURSE: The associated laboratory course, Physics 105A,
must be taken concurrently unless you have previously taken and passed Physics
105A. The grading for the laboratory is separate from the
course/recitation/workshop and the grades are given by the laboratory
instructors.
The Physics Laboratory Manual, Part I is
required and it is available on the Web at
http://physics.njit.edu/classes/physlab
WORKSHOP: Physics-A Workshop, Physics 105W, is an
integral component of the Phys 105 course/recitation offered in the current
semester and it must be taken concurrently. The grade earned in Phys
105W contributes to the final grade for the Phys 105 course. Therefore,
it is the student's responsibility to register for the workshop.
YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE
LECTURE/RECITATION (Phys 105), THE PHYSICS WORKSHOP (Phys 105W), AND THE
LABORATORY COURSE (Phys 105A) SEPARATELY. WITHDRAWAL FROM ANY OF THESE WILL
CAUSE A SIMULTANEOUS WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL OTHER Phys 105 COURSES.
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance at lectures, recitations and
workshops is mandatory.
ANY STUDENT MISSING A TOTAL OF 3 CLASSES,
WHICH CAN BE ANY COMBINATION OF LECTURE, RECITATION, OR WORKSHOP, WILL BE
DROPPED FROM THE COURSE.
Attendance records are periodically reported
to the Dean of Freshman Studies throughout the semester. Students with absences
need to discuss the reasons for their absences with the Dean.
GRADING
Commitment and preparedness are critical to success in Physics 105.
The final grade in Phys 105 will be composed
of the following items:
Exam Schedule:
Common Exam 1
Friday, February 11,
Common Exam 2:
Friday, March 4,
Common Exam 3:
Friday, April 15,
Homework problems will be assigned at the Homework Service at

Section 002 Class #51413
Section 004 Class #51414
The following grade scale will be used to
assign percentage of points earned to a letter grade for the course: NOTE
GRADES LESS THAN 50% are FAILING.
A 80+
B 70-74
B+ 75-79
C 55-64
C+ 65-69
D 50-54
F < 50
Lecture Quizzes: There is no make-up for the lecture quizzes. Students
missing a Lecture quiz receive a grade of zero for that quiz. The lecture
quizzes are intended to assess the study habits of the students on the new
concepts and to help them stay in step with the flow of the course. Any make-up
offer will give an unfair advantage to those students since it will give them
extra time to study.
Homework assignments: Homework assignments must be turned in by the
assigned cutoff date (Typically Mondays at
MAKE-UP COMMON EXAMS
The general policy is that students who miss a common exam will receive a score
of zero for that Exam.. That score will be included in
the calculation of your final grade. Students that miss two common exams
automatically fail the course. Students who anticipate an absence from a common
exam should discuss their situation with their instructor PRIOR TO their
absence. In order to be qualified to take a receive a "make-up"
common exam score (a very rare occurance),
the student should present documentation for not being able to take the test as
is the standard policy of the institution. This documentation should be
presented to their Physics 105 instructor. Students who miss common exams that
do not present documentation with 7 days of the common exam will receive a
score of zero for the common exam.
Common Exams: In the event that the above qualification is met, a
separate make-up test for the missed common quiz will not be offered. Instead,
the part of the final exam relevant to the contents of the missed test will be
considered for giving a grade for the missed test. The instructor will look at
the final exam questions from those chapters and normalize this portion of the
student’s grade for the missed common quiz. If a student misses more than one
common quiz and has documentation, he/she should discuss the situation with the
Dean of Student Services, - (973) 596-3466, 2nd floor Campbell
Entry.
Final Exam: The standard institution policy applies to the
make-ups for the final exam. In order to get an incomplete (I), the student
should have met all the course requirements with a C average standing for the
completed part of the semester’s work. Any requests for taking the final at a
different time is an anomaly and the student should be sent to the dean if
he/she has a documented reason.
Honor Code Violations/Disruptive
Behavior:
NJIT has a zero-tolerance policy regarding cheating of any kind and student
behavior that is disruptive to a learning environment. Any incidents will be
immediately reported to the Dean of Freshman Studies. In the cases the Honor
Code violations are detected, the punishments range from a minimum of failure
in the course plus disciplinary probation up to expulsion from NJIT with
notations on students' permanent record. Avoid situations where honorable
behavior could be misinterpreted.
No eating or drinking is allowed at the
lectures, recitations, workshops, and laboratories.
Cellular phones must be turned off during the
class hours.
RESOURCES: Students are
encouraged to meet with their instructor during posted office hours. In
addition, the Physics Learning Center, located in 401T, is open to all
students and provides tutoring by faculty and experienced students. A schedule
is posted outside of 401T.
