PLEASE NOTE: THE ASSOCIATED LABORATORY COURSE PHYS 111A AND PHYSICS WORKSHOP

PHYS 111W (45 MIN PER WEEK) ARE TO BE TAKEN CONCURRENTLY. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE LECTURE/RECITATION COURSE, THE PHYSICS WORKSHOP, AND THE LAB COURSE. WITHDRAWAL FROM EITHER PHYSICS COURSE WILL CAUSE A SIMULTANEOUS WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL OTHER PHYSICS COURSES.

ATTENDANCE AT LECTURE , RECITATION AND WORKSHOP CLASSES IS MANDATORY. ANY STUDENT MISSING A TOTAL OF 3 CLASSES, WHICH CAN BE ANY COMBINATION OF LECTURE, RECITATION, OR WORKSHOP, CAN BE DROPPED FROM THE COURSE BY THE DEAN OF FRESHMAN STUDIES OFFICE.

GRADING:

Your final grade in Physics 111 will be determined by your performance on the following:

1) Common Quizzes Three common quizzes will be given during the semester. The schedule is:

Common Quiz Friday, October 5 8:30-9:45 a.m.

Schedule Friday, November 2 8:30-9:45 a.m.

Wednesday, November 21 8:30-9:45 a.m.

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

3) Lecture Quizzes A short quiz will be given during e lecture or recitation.

4) Homework Homework assignments will be posted on-line at http://hw.utexas.edu.

The information needed to pick-up your homework is listed at http://web.njit.edu/~opyrchal.

5) Workshop Workshop assignments will be posted on-line at http://web.njit.edu/~opyrchal

It is your responsibility to bring a hardcopy of assignment to the workshop class.

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

45 % for all three common exams (15% each) 80% and more - A

30 % for the final exam 69% - 79 % - B

12 % for the total homework grade 55% - 68% - C

8 % for the total lecture quiz grade 50% - 54% - D

5 % for the total workshop grade 49% and less - F

PHYSICS LEARNING CENTER: The Physics Learning Center, located in 401T, is staffed by faculty and specially trained Teaching Assistants. All Physics students are invited. The time it is open will be announced.
