PHYSICS1112
SPRING SEMESTER 2008
Tuesdays and Thursdays (5)
Dr. Feofilov
1. General information
The
course includes:
Optics
Electricity
Magnetism
Electromagnetic
waves
Basic
ideas of modern physics: relativity, quantum and atomic physics
The textbook is “Physics” by
James S. Walker, Peason/Prentice Hall, 3rd edition.
My office is room 115B (first enter door 114) of
2. Mathematical background (this is a
non-calculus-based course)
Algebra
Trigonometry
and geometry
3. Laboratory
a. The labs begin the week of
January 14
b. The lab syllabus is online
at www.physast.uga.edu → Course
Web Sites → Lab Syllabi → 1112/1212
c. You must read the syllabus
AND the first lab exercise BEFORE attending the first lab.
All questions about the lab should be addressed to Mr.
Barnello, Room 327 Physics, 542-2903, tjbar@physast.uga.edu
4. Homework
problems.
The homework will not be collected and graded but
this doesn’t mean that doing homework is optional. Doing homework problems is the best way to
learn physics, thus keep up with the homework assignments. The solutions may be discussed with me during
the office hours and will be posted on the course website on the week following
the assignment.
5. Grading
There
will be 4 tests during the semester (4 problems each)
Final
exam ~8 problems
The final numerical grade will be calculated from
averaged tests (60%), final exam (25%), laboratory
(15%). The average of four tests will be calculated by dropping your lowest
test grade and replacing with final exam score (if the final exam grade is
higher).
The A-B-C-D-F grading will
be made on the basis of numerical grades, using the scale that may be shifted
(curved) taking into account the statistics of students’ performance. The exact
grading scale cannot be provided at this time.
