|
|
Lecture Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
1. Determine the components of linear motion (displacement, velocity, and acceleration), and especially motion under conditions of constant acceleration.
2. Apply Newton’s laws to physical problems including gravity.
3. Solve problems using principles of energy.
4. Use principles of impulse and linear momentum to solve problems.
5. Solve problems in rotational kinematics and dynamics, including the determination of the location of the center of mass and center of rotation for rigid bodies in motion.
6. Solve problems involving rotational and linear motion.
7. Describe the components of a wave and relate those components to mechanical vibrations, sound, and decibel level.
8. Demonstrate an understanding of equilibrium, including the different types of equilibrium.
9. Discuss simple harmonic motion and its application to quantitative problems or qualitative questions.
10. Solve problems using the principles of heat and thermodynamics.
11. Solve basic fluid mechanics problems.
Lab Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
1. Demonstrate techniques to set up and perform experiments, collect data from those experiments, and formulate conclusions from an experiment.
2. Record experimental work completely and accurately in laboratory notebooks, and communicate experimental results clearly in written reports.
3. Determine the components of linear motion (displacement, velocity, and acceleration), and especially motion under conditions of constant acceleration.
4. Apply Newton’s laws to physical problems including gravity.
5. Solve problems using principles of energy.

The Class Participation Grade is primarily based on attendance.
After 3 absences, the grade will drop to 70
5 absences, the grade will drop to 40
If a student has 6 absences, the grade will be 0, and the student may be dropped from the course.
Students arriving more than 10 minutes late will be considered
absent. All absences, for whatever reason, will be counted.
There will be no Extra Credit Assignments.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: Conceptual questions and problems will be assigned for each chapter that is covered. These will be discussed during class sessions. It is very important that these assignments be completed outside of class. The questions and problems on the tests will be very similar to those on the assignments.
LABORATORY: The laboratory period may be used for performing experiments, problem sessions, or test taking. Each experiment will involve the setting of apparatus, taking and analyzing data and completing a laboratory report. The reports will be graded and the average of all reports and assignments will constitute your laboratory score. There will be no make-up labs for absences; one lab grade will be dropped.
CELL PHONES: Students using cell phones (including texting) is prohibited.
PHOTOGRAPHY: No photography or filming in class.
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is _____November 8, 2017_______.
DISABILITY SERVICES (Office for Students with Disabilities)
The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides support services for students with disabilities, students enrolled in technical areas of study, and students who are classified as special populations (i.e. single parents).
Support services for students with disabilities might include appropriate and reasonable accommodations, or they may be in the form of personal counseling, academic counseling, career counseling, etc. Furthermore, OSD Counselors work with students to encourage self-advocacy and promote empowerment. The Counselors also provides resource information, disability-related information, and adaptive technology for students who qualify.
If you feel you have needs for services that the institution provides, please reach out to either Wayne Smith (940) 498-6207 or Yvonne Sandman (940) 668-3300. Alternative students may stop by Room 170 in Corinth or Room 111 in Gainesville.
