PLEASE NOTE: THE ASSOCIATED LABORATORY COURSE PHYS 111A AND PHYSICS WORKSHOP

PHYS 111W(45 MIN PER WEEK) ARE TO BE TAKEN CONCURRENTLY. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE LECTURE/RECITATION COURSE, THE PHYSICS WORKSHOP, AND THE LAB COURSE. WITHDRAWAL FROM EITHER PHYSICS COURSE WILL CAUSE A SIMULTANEOUS WITHDRAWAL FROM ALL OTHER PHYSICS COURSES.

ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES , RECITATION AND WORKSHOP CLASSES IS MANDATORY. ANY STUDENT MISSING A TOTAL OF 3 CLASSES, WHICH CAN BE ANY COMBINATION OF LECTURE, RECITATION, OR WORKSHOP, CAN BE DROPPED FROM THE COURSE BY THE DEAN OF FRESHMAN STUDIES OFFICE.

GRADING:

Your final grade in Physics 111 will be determined by your performance on the following:

1) Common Quizzes Three common quizzes will be given during the semester. The schedule is:

Common Quiz Friday, October 68:30-9:45 a.m.

Schedule Friday, November 3 8:30-9:45 a.m.

Wednesday, November 228:30-9:45 a.m.

2) Final Exam A comprehensive examination of the entire semester's work will be given at the end of the semester.

3) Lecture Quizzes A short quiz will be given during each lecture covering the work of the preceding week.

4) Homework Homework assignments will be posted on-line at byUniversity of Texas

Homework System. All the information needed to pick-up your homework every week is listed at

5) Workshop Workshop assignments will be posted on-line at

It is your responsibility to bring a hardcopy of assignment to the workshop class.

Here are the approximate weights to be used for calculating the final gradeand the final grade scale:

45 % for all three common exams ( 15% each)80% and more - A

30 % for the final exam65% - 79 % - B

15 % for the total homework grade55% - 64% - C

5 % for the total lecture quiz grade50% - 54% - D

5% for the total workshop grade49% and less - F

PHYSICSLEARNINGCENTER: The PhysicsLearningCenter, located in 401T, is staffed by faculty and specially trained Teaching Assistants. All Physics students are invited. The time it is open will be announced.
