PHYS201: Principle of Physics I
FALL 2009 Homework Assignments
| Students will be expected to work and
study outside the classroom.
The problems will be posted and available on MasteringPhysics, and the
responses will
be given on the same website. Note that all homework assignments are from end
of
chapter problems in the textbook. |
Remarks:
- Homework is due when posted on MasteringPhysics. No extra credit or makeup assignments will be given. Keep
up! Any request for an extension should be made before the due date,
not after.
- No makeup exams will be given.
Missed exams receive a grade of zero unless an excuse for missing the
exam is given to and accepted by the professor before the exam.
In very unusual circumstances, when an exam is excused, the remaining
exams will be averaged. Students should not depend on this happening.
- Each week there will be a graded
quiz in your problem session that contributes to your final grade.
Missed quizzes receive a grade of zero unless an excuse for missing the
quiz is given to and accepted by the teaching assistant before the
quiz. In unusual circumstances, when a quiz is excused, the
remaining quizzes will be averaged. Students should not depend on this
happening.
- Collaboration on homework problems:
We encourage you to discuss homework problems with each other and to
work out together methods of solution. Our experience has been that it
is valuable for you to work the homework problems by yourself before
seeking help. The homework answer that you submit to MasteringPhysics must be
your own that you calculate. It is an honor violation for you to copy
another person's solution.
- Attendance policy: Attendance is not
taken, but you are responsible for all assigned material, whether it is
presented in lecture or not. You are also responsible for knowing the
problem assignments and for any announcements of changes in the
schedule that may be made in lecture.
|
For each homework assignment, you must submit your answers
on MasteringPhysics. Because the numbers in the problems are randomized, you
must log
on to MasteringPhysics with your login and password and obtain your personal
assignment for the week. Please note each week how many submissions you
are allowed.
Your last submission is the one graded. Note that you must finish by
the posted
time on the due date or your grade will be zero. There are no
exceptions to
this. We cannot accept late homework with MasteringPhysics. If for any reason
(like
sickness, for example), you decide to ask for a homework time
extension, no
extension will ever be given if you have looked at the answer key on MasteringPhysics.
