\parsyl {\bfa Prerequisites:} Physics 211.
\vskip\baselineskip
\parsyl {\bfa Text:} Halliday, Resnick, \& Walker
"Fundamentals of Physics Extended,"
6th Edition (common name Halliday \& Resnick).
\vskip\baselineskip
\parsyl {\bfa Catalog Course Description:} Four Credits.
Oscillations, waves, thermodynamics, electricity \&~magnetism,
and optics.
\vskip\baselineskip
\parsyl {\bfa Supplementary Course Description:} This is a second
course in elementary physics.
But elementary doesn't mean easy.
Many topics are covered and in some depth.
Mathematical tools including calculus are needed.
The emphasis is on concepts and calculations, logic, beauty, utility,
and the unity of the physics.
You may never return to particular topics in later life, but
the physics approach should be a lifetime achievement and strength.
And we'll have some fun too.

\parsyl {\bfa Evaluation and Grading:} The 3 grading categories, their
weightings, and their drops are:
{
\parindent=20pt
\oneskip
\settabs\+\indent & comprehensive final exam (2 hours)\qquad
&$45\,$\% \qquad
&2 drops \cr
\+& weekly homeworks &$\leq 10\,$\% & 1 drop \cr
\+& 3 in-class tests &$55\,$\% &no drop \cr
\+& comprehensive final exam (2 hours) &$\geq 35\,$\% &no drop \cr
}
\oneskip
\hskip 20pt Preliminary letter grades based cumulative average marks
will be assigned according to lower bound scheme:
A 90$\,$\%,
A$-$ 87$\,$\%,
B$+$ 84$\,$\%,
B 80$\,$\%,
B$-$ 77$\,$\%,
C$+$ 74$\,$\%,
C 70$\,$\%,
C$-$ 67$\,$\%,
D$+$ 64$\,$\%,
D 60$\,$\%,
D$-$ 57$\,$\%,
F 0$\,$\%.
% a Gaussian curve (a horrid bell curve)
% with a B$-$ average.
The instructor will, however, make a final judgment on letter grades at the
end of the course.
%No one needs to worry that the Gaussian curve will require so many D's, etc.
%There will be {\bf NO} letter grades for individual homeworks or exams.
\oneskip
\parsyl {\bfa Eposting of Marks and Grades:} Marks and grades
will be eposted at the course section webpage.
Eposting will only be for
those students who have requested their marks and grades be eposted
with a signature
and have given an confidential alias: no social security number or
recognizable parts of your own name.
The alias is only for eposting: use your real name on all items
(homeworks and exams) that are handed in.
The homeworks and exams will be handed back in class.
\oneskip
\parsyl {\bfa Homeworks:} There will be weekly homeworks usually
assigned on Mondays and usually due on the following Monday at 5:00~pm.
The homeworks will consist of questions from the text: the questions
for the week will be/are eposted on the course schedule
at the course section webpage.
Solutions to the homeworks will be eposted on the course schedule
after the deadline.
\vskip\baselineskip
\parsyl {\bfa Make-ups:} Make-ups on exams are possible, but the
student must have a good reason for needing one and must ask for it
promptly.
\oneskip
\parsyl {\bfa Disabilities:} If you have a disability that may
require assistance or accommodation,
you should contact the ADA and Disabilities Resource Center
(Gravely Hall Lobby Rm~123, Campus Box 8121, Tel: 208-282-3599)
for questions about these services.
You can also speak to me.
In particular if you have any special emergency
evacuation needs, you should let me know.
