Physics 143 - Farmingdale State College
Instructor:
Dr. L. Makarowitz (Lupton 200A)
Text:
"University Physics" Thirteenth Edition by Young and Freedman
Lab
Manual: "Experiments in Physics" Second Edition by Nolan and Bigliani
Grading Policy:
Your grade in
PHY 143 will consist of 75 % from your performance in the theory portion of the
course, and 25 % from your performance in the laboratory.
Grades
in the theory portion will be based on four large examinations (each worth 15
percent of the theory, with no exams dropped) and a comprehensive final
examination (worth 40 percent of the theory). All exams (including the final
exam) are traditional problem-solving exams, in which all work must be shown.
Students must work independently on examinations, without the use of formula
sheets, texts, notes, or other aids (except for a calculator).
Information
concerning the laboratory portion of your grade will be provided on a separate
sheet. You will receive a single grade for this four-credit course.
The last day to withdraw without penalty is November 2, 2012.
PLEASE TURN OFF ALL MOBILE PHONES COMPLETELY BEFORE ENTERING THE
CLASSROOM AND LABORATORY. A tentative schedule of
topics follows.
