CLASSICAL PHYSICS 7E,
Sum. '03 TEXT:
Physics, Serway & Beichner
Physics 7 is a four quarter
introductory physics course. The first and second quarter are concerned with
classical mechanics, especially momentum, energy, forces, and conservation
laws. The third quarter deals with electricity & magnetism. The current
(fourth) quarter will deal with fluids, waves and oscillations (generally, and
including sound and light), and optics. Much of the material covered will use
what you learned in Physics 7A and 7B. Facility with introductory calculus
(Math 2A,B) is a prerequisite for the course.

It is recommended that one regularly
dedicates no less than two hours of study and homework time per hour of course
lecture. Neither procrastination nor massive cramming before exams works in
learning physics. Physics is learned
by experimenting and doing lots of homework problems (many more than those
listed below).
EXAMS, GRADING, AND HOMEWORK
There will be four homework quizzes,
one midterm, and a final exam, all starting at the beginning of class with no
time extensions for tardy arrival. The course grade will be determined by 20%
from homework quizzes, 35% midterm, and 45% final exam. Exams will be open
book, open notes, calculators allowed. Quizzes will be closed book, closed
notes, no calculators. Homework assignments (not collected) will be associated
with each lecture. Students are expected to do homework in a timely manner and
use discussion sections for homework and lecture questions. Solutions will be
posted. Quizzes (HQ below) will be comprised of homework problems assigned
prior to the quiz.
