Kirill Shtengel Physics 3009 Tel. (951) 827-1058 kirill.shtengel@ucr.edu Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 − 3:00 pm. |
| Class: |
Tuesdays and Thursdays,
11:10 am − 12:30 pm, Physics 2000. |
| Textbook: |
University Physics, Young
& Freedman, 12th
edition.
|
| Syllabus: |
Chapters 22−31 with a
review of chapter 21. For an approximate listing of which chapter
sections will be covered in each lecture, see the schedule below. |
| Grading: |
Homework 10% Clicker quizzes 5% Midterm exam 25% Final exam 45% Lab 15% |
| Clickers: |
You must register your clicker for this quarter at http://clickers.ucr.edu/.
There are two types of clicker remotes: the old infrared clickers and
the new RF models. Both should work. If you already have
one, you don't need to replace it. There will be times when your
clicker does not work for some reason. To take this into account,
I will not include the lowest 15% of your responses for the
quarter. This should be enough to account for a fair number of
equipment failures. I will begin using the clickers starting with
the 3rd lecture. |
| Homework: |
Homework will usually be assigned before class on Thursday, due on the following Wednesday at 11:59 pm. The assignments can only
be completed online via the Mastering Physics website (no
exceptions). You will need to purchase access to the website
(http://www.masteringphysics.com)
for a small fee, if you don't already
have access.
The identifier for the class is PHYS40CF08.
Be sure to check due date and time for each assignment. |
| Labs: |
Check the Blackboard (iLearn)
webpage for your lab section to find the schedule of labs and related information.
Labs begin the
second week of October (6th−10th).
|
| Exams: |
The exams will be based on the
material emphasized in the lectures. Midterm: November 4th, 2008, in class. Final: December 9 (Tuesday), 8:00 am − 11:00 am in physics 2000. |
