Assignments, Exams and Grades Prelectures and Checkpoints-10% FlipItPhysics: Due at 11:00 a.m. (see FlipItPhysics calendar). You get credit for completion, not for correctness You must watch the whole prelecture (about 20 minutes) to get credit! Homework-15% WebAssign: Due at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays (graded automatically). The lowest five Homework scores are dropped. You get credit for correctness Exams-75% 4 midterms, 50 minutes each (see calendar). The lowest score midterm is dropped. -50% Final exam: Friday, August 4, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. -25% Extra Credit-5% You get extra credit of 5% if you attend your discussion sections regularly: at least 80% of the meetings.

Textbooks: You should get this one! Optional FlipItPhysics: Classical Mechanics By Gladding, Selen and Seltzer Physics for Scientists and Engineers By Serway and Jewett ANY edition is fine.

How we’ll use FlipItPhysics You will VIEW video PreLectures before class: CONFRONT the concepts and principles PreLectures are animated, narrated tutorials of key concepts. There are embedded questions within the PreLectures; you get credit for viewing the PreLecture and answering the questions. I am not scoring the embedded questions for correctness, but rather, for completion. You must follow the sequence of the slides—they are meant to build upon each other. If you want to read the script of the tutorial, you can do this in one of two ways: a) read the related unit in the textbook or b) click the notebook paper icon on the PreLecture and you’ll pull up the script. You can also view the PreLecture with closed captioning (by clicking on the CC button on the bottom of the screen).

How we’ll use FlipItPhysics Next, you’ll complete a CheckPoint quiz before class: CHECK your understanding of the PreLecture CheckPoints are assessments that are designed to help you—and me—determine your understanding of the PreLecture material as a whole. You must submit the complete CheckPoint to get credit but you aren’t penalized for multiple attempts or wrong answers. That said, I will be referring to the CheckPoints (and some of your comments) in lecture so it is important that you answer the questions to the best of your abilities.

How we’ll use FlipItPhysics COME to Lecture! The lecture will be more INTERACTIVE because of the work you’ve done before class Address questions and difficulties expressed by students from the prelectures and checkpoints Work out examples Use checkpoint questions plus others to survey class (“vote” with color-coded cards)

How you can do well in this course You should spend at least 3 hours on prelectures and homework for every lecture! MAKE A GOOD EFFORT ON THE ONLINE ACTIVITIES. The last CheckPoint question is optional and is called “Lecture Thoughts.” I will study these before class and will adjust the lecture to your needs. PARTICIPATE IN LECTURE. You will learn more (and have more fun) from an active setting in which you participate with the instructor and your peers to probe your understanding of the fundamental principles. 3. DO THE HOMEWORK THE RIGHT WAY!!! To truly understand physics you must practice solving problems. Work on the homework on your own as far as possible. Then go to your discussion section, to learn techniques on how to solve problems and ask for hints that will help you finish your assignment. If you still need help, go to the help lab. Peer instruction is very much encouraged.
