If you wish to purchase just the access to WebAssign, you may do so: o Online as you login to WebAssign.net. Please see the page of the syllabus dedicated to WebAssign, Getting Started. o At the bookstore. The ISBN of the printed EWA Multi Term Access Card with e-book is 0538738073 (or 13-digit: 978-0538738071) Equipment: scientific calculator. Pre-Class Assignment: Before class you must read the assigned chapter in the textbook. Supplemental Instruction: Supplemental Instruction is provided after the lecture as a support for the students. The SI leader will provide and discuss extra problems, review difficult concepts, and answer questions. Please be aware that the SI leader will not solve the homework for you. Attendance at the supplemental instruction is not mandatory, but strongly encouraged.
Homework: The online program WebAssign will be utilized for entering and automatic grading of the homework. This requires the Access Card to be found inside the textbook. The homework for each chapter can be submitted a maximum of 5 times. Accessing WebAssign: see attached sheet. Note: there is a 14 day grace period during which you can use WebAssign for homework even if you don’t have an access code yet. Due time: The assignments are due at 11 pm on the specified date. Only in case of serious circumstances an extension may be granted. Please send me an e-mail. No e-mailed homework is accepted. Laboratories: PHY 151 includes a laboratory experience aimed at introducing the student to the scientific method. The laboratory grade will be assigned by your laboratory instructor, and will be one-fifth of your total grade. Homework: The main purpose of the homework is to prepare for the exams. You may work together on the homework, and get help from others. However, you cannot simply submit someone else’s work that you have not contributed to. Tests/Exams: There will be a total of 4 Tests, plus a comprehensive Final Exam. Your final exam is on Dec Each exam includes both problems and conceptual questions. All exams will be closed-book. A basic scientific calculator may be used. Make-up Policy: If you cannot be present for an exam or quiz due to an unavoidable emergency or an excused absence, contact me beforehand, if possible, or as quickly as possible afterwards.
