Final Exam:

D2L will be used for all class materials outside the text book and lab manual. Lectures: Lectures are meant to compliment the text. You are expected to read the sections that will be covered in lecture before class and have attempted a few of the problems at the end of the chapter associated with the reading. We will cover problems that are outside those that are worked out for you or you will be working out for homework. No derivations will be given in class they are worked out in the book. (Please do, of course, ask questions about derivations if you are having trouble following any of the steps.) This will give us time to do things like demonstrations, group problem solving and other inclass activities. Class time will be devoted primarily to building problem solving skills. Homework: The usual homework assignment will contain less than 20 problems per week. The purpose of these assignments is threefold: to provide experience using the covered concepts, to provide you with feedback on how well you are understanding course material, and to provide me with feedback on what concepts we may need to spend more time. Consider the completion of the assigned homework problems to be the minimum work necessary to understand the material. The key to doing well in this class is practice. A few suggestions are to: 1) complete further problems in the text, 2) find other texts and work some of their chapter problems to gain a perspective beyond mine (lecture) and the assigned text (reading and assigned homework) I provide a few suggestions at the end of this syllabus, 3) form a study group: your fellow students can be helpful either as teachers or when they are in need of your help (you learn a lot explaining things to others), 4) use campus resources. Late homework will be accepted one week past the due date for 50% credit. Homework will be graded in a check-off basis.

The quizzes are intended to give you an opportunity to practice your problem solving skills in an exam-like setting. At the end of the semester your lowest quiz score will be dropped. Laboratory: You must purchase a lab manual at: Campus Book and Supply, 305 5th Ave S Ste 190, 2550851. Note that this is not the campus bookstore. Lab reports will be due the week following the lab activity. At the end of the semester, I will drop your lowest lab grade. Unless you receive advance approval, you must attend your assigned lab section. Data and/or lab reports from previous semesters will not be accepted for credit. You must get 50% of your lab points to pass regardless of how well you do in the rest of the course. Late labs are accepted for half credit for one week past the due date. Labs later than one week will not be accepted. One lab grade will be dropped at the end of the semester. Exams: There will be hour exams given in the laboratory on the three days indicated in the schedule. They will consist primarily of homework-like problems. All problems will be graded for partial credit. The final exam will be cumulative. Bottom Line: You will get out what you put into this class. Each of the portions of this class (homework, quizzes, lab, etc.) are meant to help you to better understand the concepts. Don't rob yourself of the opportunity of this experience by not participating or letting someone else do it for you.
