CLASSICAL PHYSICS 7D,
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. 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.
