Course Prerequisite: Successful completion of PH 221& MA126 (Minimum C-Grade). Required Text book: Fundamentals of Physics, 8th Ed. Vol. 2, Halliday, Resnick, & Walker (2008, Wiley & Sons, ISBN: 0-470-04477-2). Make sure you get the correct edition (not the 9th ed.)! Required Co-requisites: 1) Recitation PH222R. Students are required to register and attend the recitation. This requirement will be enforced by credit bearing events during recitation. 2) Laboratory PH222L. Taking lab as co-requisite (same term) is a requirement. Failure to enroll for all three components (lecture, recitation, and laboratory) by the drop date (June 8) will result in being automatically dropped from this course. Last day to withdraw from a course with a grade of “W” is July 07. PH222L Policy: As of Spring 2010, the UAB Department of Physics will no longer allow students to use grades made in a lab section from a previous semester when retaking any of the courses in the PH201-202 or PH221-222 course sequence. Assignments, protocol, due dates, and grading of labs will be discussed in the 1st lab meeting. You are required to get the lab manual materials (available in the campus bookstore) before the 1st day of lab. PH222R: Several recitation periods will be devoted to practice in solving relevant physics problems.

Measurement of Learning Objectives: Homework problem sets, quizzes, and exams will be used regularly to measure understanding of the fundamental concepts presented as well as your ability to apply this understanding to problems in Electricity and Magnetism. Homework sets and exams will also evaluate the progression of your understanding of physics concepts and problem solving skills. Related UAB core learning outcomes: Students successfully completing this course will demonstrate knowledge of fundamental concepts in Electricity & Magnetism and the ability to apply this knowledge for quantitative reasoning and problem solving.

Lecture Quizzes and Exam: Seven interim short (25 min) quizzes and one comprehensive final exam (2.5 hours) will be given in lecture period. Quizzes will generally be given every Thursday at the end of the class. The problems will cover concepts covered in the previous week’s material. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. These are closed-book and closed notes. Formula required will be provided. A scientific calculator may be used as long as it does NOT have onboard memory (see me if you have questions). No cell phone calculator is allowed. In order to do well on exams you should do the reading assignments before class, pay attention to lectures, work diligently in recitation and lab, and individually work all of the homework & recitation problems when they are assigned. It is important to show your work on exams. Partial credit is awarded for correct steps and techniques even if the answer is wrong. Full credit will be awarded only if the right answer is obtained for the right reason, with the correct work shown leading up to the answer. Recitation: Recitation sheets will be provided on each Thursday. You will work these out in Recitation and these sheets will be scored. Each person will turn in a solution at the end of next Thursday class. You will get 15 points if I judge you have made a comprehensive effort on the exercise: an incorrect numerical answer may still get full credit if the work shown demonstrates the correct method; a paper turned in with the correct answer, but little work shown, may get little credit. 2 Homework: Homework is electronically processed via an internet website: http://www.webassign.net/uab/login.html. You are responsible for buying a WebAssign key either with the textbook, separately at the bookstore, or online. It is important that you login to this website ASAP and authenticate using your BlazerID and password so that you will be automatically added to the roster. You will need a Class key which will be provided separately. You are strongly advised to start homework as soon as a problem set is given. Success on exams will most likely depend on problem solving skills that are developed by YOU personally going through the struggle of working homework problems YOURSELF. Do not fall into the trap of just reading over or memorizing homework solutions, as this will be of little value in preparing for an exam. Homework due date/time is strictly enforced by computer. NO LATE HOMEWORK IS ACCEPTED. To complete homework problems, you need internet access and a web browser. Students who do not have internet access can use computers in Sterne Library and Physics Labs (Campbell Hall 4th floor). A schedule when 4th floor labs are open for use by students enrolled in PH222 will be set up by Dr. Todd Devore (CH468A, phone 934-4295, email: [email protected]). Resources needed: You must have a textbook listed above and a calculator with scientific functions (esp. degree and radian trig functions). Bring your calculator, textbook, and your notebook to each class. For home work you will need to access WebAssign. You may use your own computer (web access) with any recent web browser or any of the student-accessible computer labs at UAB. If you need information about 2

Some well-prepared students may be able do the exercises quickly. If, at the beginning of class, you see that the day’s exercise consists of material you already know well, you may quickly work the exercise, turn it in and leave early. Note, however, that for most of the semester I will insist you use the methods I teach.

available computer access laboratories, discuss this with your instructor or departmental advisor. Instructions to access and operate WebAssign are available in the link in Student Guide on the WebAssign website (https://www.webassign.net/uab/login.html). Text reading assignments: Material to be covered in class should be read before class. The syllabus will guide your reading, but keep track of whether the class is proceeding ahead or behind schedule. UAB Policy Regarding Appropriate Use of Technology in the Classroom: The use of any personal computational or communications devices, personal computers, or IPADs in the classroom is prohibited without the explicit expressed approval of the instructor who deems it necessary for student learning. This includes the use of computers, personal digital assistants, IPADs, text pagers and cell phones. If the student uses IPAD’s or laptops for educational purposes, please alert the instructor and get permission at the beginning of class (although this permission may be revoked if the laptops are used for non-approved purposes). Please note that working on (and especially discussing) the on-line homework during lecture is not allowed, as this is disruptive to you and the other students. No computers, IPADs, personal digital assistants, text pagers, cell phones, or calculators with special scientific or physics modules are permitted during exams under any circumstances. The use of such devices without permission of the instructor may be considered a violation of UAB’s nonacademic conduct policies. The use of such devices to facilitate an act of academic misconduct (such as cheating or plagiarism) will be considered a violation of the UAB Academic Honor Code and will be sanctioned as outlined in the Code. See UAB Undergraduate Policies and Procedures Handbook. Policy regarding reasonable accommodations: If you are registered with Disability Support Services (DSS), please make an appointment with me to discuss accommodations that may be necessary. If you need to contact DSS, please call 934-4205 or visit DSS at 516 Hill University Center. Students with disabilities must be registered with DSS and provide an accommodation request letter before receiving accommodations for class. Blackboard Vista: Students can gain supplementary information, learning resources, and instructor postings using Blackboard Vista, which is a campus-wide learning management system for students and faculty.

Comments: (i) Discuss difficulties with course material, course style and schedules early. (ii) Make use of office hours, telephone & email (in that order). Time constraints will not permit in-class coverage of all material you will be responsible for.

(iii) Read material before the class. It is crucial that you question and analyze everything I say and do in class as I do it. Otherwise, you will absorb only a little
