Physics 201 – General Physics III

First Semester 2004-05 (041)

Coordination and Grading Policy

 

         Course Description:        A continuation of Phys 101 and 102. Topics covered include inductance; magnetic properties of matter; electromagnetic oscillations and waves; geometrical and physical optics. Relativity, introduction to quantum physics, atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology.

 

                          Textbook:        Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, “Fundamentals of Physics, 6th Edition Extended, Wiley (2001).

 

                Method:          The course material will be presented in lectures. Problem-solving techniques will be shown recitations. Demonstrations and audiovisuals will be used to clarify material if available.

 

                     Prerequisites        Physics 102, General Physics II

                                                    Math 102 Calculus II

 

                 Grading Policy:        The course grade will be evaluated as follows:

 

                                                    Class Work                                       15 %

                                                    Laboratory                                        20 %

                                                    First Major Exam                              15 %

                                                    Second Major Exam                         20 %

                                                    Final Exam                                         30 %

 

The Class Work will be on Quizzes and Homework.

 

The Laboratory score will be based on the Lab reports and the Lab final Exam.

 

Labs start on the second week of the classes (i.e. Monday, September 20, 2004)

 

Attendance will be evaluated according to the University Regulations. Attendance in lectures, recitations and labs is compulsory. It will be enforced and evaluated according to the current university regulations. A DN grade shall be given to the student who has 3 absences in labs or 12 unexcused absences in (lectures + recitations) or the combination of both. Student who has valid excuse for his absence must present officially authorized document to his instructor no later than one week following his resumption to the classes.
