3. Attendance: The laboratory is an important portion of the University Physics course and attendance is mandatory. You are allowed only one unexcused absence from laboratory during the session with more than one resulting in failure of the laboratory section and therefore the complete course. A missed laboratory can only be made up the same day in another scheduled PHYS232 or PHYS112 session and only with permission of both instructors involved. Make sure you sign the attendance sheet each day. The required number of completed laboratory reports must be submitted to pass the course. 

4. Assessment: The laboratory section counts for 15% of the 4 credit hour course. Laboratory assessment will be determined primarily from written laboratory reports and at the discretion of your instructor, through evaluation of your participation in the laboratory. 

5. Data Recording: All data should be recorded on paper and kept in a folder or bound notebook. On occasions some data will be recorded on the tables provided in the Laboratory Manual. Your laboratory instructor will check your data and sign your work before you leave each laboratory. The original of your data sheets must be submitted with your laboratory report. If you lose your data sheet you will be required to repeat the experiment, if scheduling permits. 

6. Laboratory Reports: Your laboratory instructor will give you details of the experiments for which you need to prepare reports and the due date. Your original data sheets and/or tables must be contained in the report. The report must be stapled or bound. If you anticipate missing a laboratory session, contact the instructor to discuss the report submission. Your instructor will also discuss with you the format and submission schedule to be followed. Each laboratory report submitted must be of satisfactory standard. Otherwise you will be requested to rewrite the report and resubmit it. If a requested laboratory report is not submitted or an unsatisfactory report is not resubmitted, that laboratory will be be recorded as an absence.

Assignments
Assignments consist of assigned problems at the end of each chapter in the text. Assignment are to be submitted according to the schedule below. A total of 14 assignments are to be completed during the course and they account for 10% of the course assessment.  Importantly, assignments gauge your knowledge of the topics studied and give you practice at problem solving. Examination questions (including Tests) are about the same degree of difficulty as assignment problems but may consist of several related parts. It is to your advantage to complete each assignment yourself and to keep your completed assignments for examination review purposes.

Assignment Submission:  Mastering Physics Instructions:

All assignment answers will be submitted electronically using Mastering Physics. You must have the "Student Access Kit" which comes with new Text Books. You must register (free) according to the packet instructions. Your phy231 Mastering Physics account is still active for phy232. For new accounts you need register on the MP website. You need to add the Course Code for this semester. It is MPCOOK10144.  This will add your name to my ClassList and allow you to do the required assignments and many optional tutorials. If you are new to Mastering Physics, then some stage before your first assignment, you should complete the test assignment to learn the Mastering Physics system, which is a very powerful learning system. Note that assignment problems that are taken from the chapters of one of the recommended text books will use the same problem listed in each chapter BUT MAY ALTER the DATA (numbers) used to calculate  the answer. Therefore each student will complete the same problem using different data. For any individual student, once you access your assignment, the numbers provided for any problem will remain the same each time you login. 

COMPUTER LABS on campus have Web access and may be used for assignment answer submission.

Assignment Records: You should print out your Assignment, complete the assignment on paper in the normal manner, then you should logon to the Mastering Physics homepage and type in all your answers before submitting the assignment. If you get the wrong answer, you may try again. You are allowed at least three attempts for each question, (i.e. you can submit the completed assignment three times only). Note that the submission deadline for assignments is 11:59 p.m. on the due date. 

Assignment Solutions: Assignment solutions will be posted on the PHY232 Home Page soon after the submission due date.

You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader loaded on your computer in order to view solutions (and other files).

  Assignment Schedule:    
    Assignment answers must be posted at the Mastering Physics before 11:59 p.m. on the due date.

PHYSICS LEARNING CENTER:

The Physics Department has an important resource for introductory physics students. Recitations are now replaced by The Physics Learning Center which is staffed approximately 35 hours per week by physics faculty and graduate students. It is open from 8:00am until 5:00pm MTWRF. Students in any introductory class may stop in at the Learning Center for help on homework, lab, lecture or other course material without an appointment. We urge students to work together.

The schedule will be posted on the doors to Rooms 140 and 142 and on the Physics Department Website. 

Note The Learning Center will be open starting the second week of classes.

POLICY ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:

Students may consult the ``Student Disciplinary Policy and Procedures'' Manual (located in the department secretarial office) for details. A significant item is the following:

``All official disciplinary sanctions, including grade sanctions, which are assigned to a student as a result of an act of academic dishonesty, will be recorded on the student's official University transcript.''

Students are requested to report cases of Academic Dishonesty to the instructor. This particularly includes copying of assignment solutions or laboratory reports,  and communication between students during examinations. All reported information will be treated as confidential.    

POLICY ON CLASS DISRUPTION:

Class disruption will not be tolerated. Students attending class have the right to a professional, quiet and amiable learning environment free of disruptions from students within and outside the classroom. Cell phone and beepers must be silenced during class times and examination times, and conversions between students are to be quiet, brief and only related to the subject matter of the present lecture. Students are requested to report disruption to the instructor.
