Other Books: Ristinen and Kraushaar, Energy and the Environment Overall a very nice book, but not as detailed as Hinrichs and Kleinbach. I have used this book in the past. Priest, Energy, Principles, Problems, AlternativesAnother very nice but fairly elementary book. We used it in the old Physics 100 course. Schobert, Energy and SocietyA really nice book that seems to cover the material from a historical perspective. Gonick and Huffman The Cartoon Guide to Physics Nice review of basic physics in comic book form. The physics is excellent and easy to understand.

COURSE GRADING: COURSE GRADING: As an incentive to actually come to class, we will be using the Turning Point clicker system this semester You will get classroom participation points for answering the questions. You get 2 points for having your clicker in class and actually answering the questions. If you forgot your clicker on a given day, I have a sign up sheet for after class and you will get ½ credit for that day.

If you forgot your clicker on a given day, I have a sign up sheet for after class and you will get ½ credit for that day. You will also have weekly homework assignments that are to be turned in on Wednesday. The assignments will be posted on the web page for the course. As additional homework assignments, you will turn in three current articles dealing with material which is covered in the course. The articles may come from magazines, newspapers, etc. Do not turn in the original article. Photocopy it. Write a brief description (one page or less) of what the article is talking about and how it relates to the course material. Make sure you write the source of the information on the copy. The dates that each article is due is given on the syllabus. You will also have weekly homework assignments that are to be turned in on Wednesday.

Letter grades are not assigned on an individual exam, but will be determined at the end of the course when all scores are in. There are no hard and fast letter grade boundaries (i.e. I do not grade on a strict percentage basis) nor is there a statistical formula used to determine grade boundaries (i.e. I do not grade on a curve). Instead, statistics are used as a guide to determine underlying standards. When needed, factors such as class participation, improvement, industriousness, etc. may be used in borderline cases. Statistics will be given on each exam so that you may estimate where you stand in relation to the rest of the class.

General Comments I really like question and or discussion in class. I really like question and or discussion in class. I am always happy to shift directions provided that we stay within the area of energy. I am always happy to shift directions provided that we stay within the area of energy.

Why are you taking this course 1. Required for major 2. Interested in the subject 3. Need an Outer Core Gen Ed class and this fits my schedule 4. Other

What do you believe is true about climate change 1. It is not really happening. 2. It is happening, but it is a natural process 3. It is happening and the major driver is human activity

What is your opinion about nuclear power? 1. We should eliminate all nuclear reactors and never build more. 2. We are using about the right amount of nuclear power now 3. We should build more nuclear plants ASAP

What do you think about wind power? 1. We should supply as much of the US energy as possible using wind power. 2. We should supply no more than 10-20% of the US power using wind 3. Wind will never make a large contribution to the US energy needs

What do you think about alcohol as a fuel? 1. You barely get as much energy out as you use to create it so why bother? 2. It is a great, low pollution form of fuel so we should use more. 3. The disruption it causes to the global food market make it untenable. 4. Other.
